Corbett compares same-sex marriage to incest

HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania Gov. Corbett on Friday compared same-sex marriage to the marriage of brothers and sisters.

The Republican governor, whose approval ratings have been low and who is up for reelection next year, made the comments during an interview with WHP-TV in Harrisburg, after being asked about a controversial statement his lawyers had made over the summer on gay marriage.

During the interview, Corbett called "inappropriate" his attorneys' statement in an August court filing. In the filing, the attorneys wrote that gay marriage is against Pennsylvania law, just as marriage is between children.

The governor then told the news station that he thought "a much better analogy would have been brother and sister, don't you?"

A spokesman for the governor could not be reached for comment. Corbett's office said it would issue a statement later Friday.

He probably played "Barrack the magic negro" right after that.

Fuck them all.
