Gov. Tom Corbett: Gay marriage is like marriage of siblings

Seriously, if we can't beat this loser next year, I dunno....

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has compared the marriage of same-sex couples to the marriage of a brother and sister during an appearance on a morning TV news show.
The Republican made the remark Friday on WHP-TV in Harrisburg when asked about a statement his lawyers made in an August court filing.
The attorneys had said gay marriage licenses have no "value or legitimacy" in Pennsylvania and can't be defended in court. They compared gay couples to children, who can't marry because a 1996 law says marriage is between a man and a woman.
Corbett has called that statement inappropriate. On Friday, he said he thinks "a much better analogy would have been brother and sister, don't you?"

1. Well, it must've worked for him.

WTF is with this clown?

2. How long until he issues a "I didn't mean it like THAT" apology?

His people were probably already crafting one the second it came out of his mouth.

6. Heard it on KYW on the way home from work.

Something like "I didn't mean to sound insensitive" or some such non-apology nonsense.

3. He'd have a better chance of re-election if he just hid out in a cave and didn't say anything

I need to clarify that I shouldn't have compared gay couples who want to get married to small children. I've had months to think about that mistake, and what I meant to say is that they are like a brother and sister committing incest.

.... no, what I meant to say that it would be like a Priest marrying an altar boy.

.... no, what I really meant to say, it would be like a big Black guy being allowed to marry a pretty little White girl.

.... no, I really meant to compare it to man-on-dog sex.

I hope that is now perfectly clear.

5. Corbett's stupidity is mind-boggling.

I can't wait to vote this assclown out of office.
