Ted Olson Fights For Same-Sex Marriage
Or
Even A Stopped Clock Is Right Twice A Day

Ted Olson has done immeasurable harm to this country. He helped Reagan avoid prosecution for Iran-Contra, argued for Bush and Cheney before SCOTUS during Bush v. Gore, and helped the forces that finally managed to impeach Bill Clinton after seven years of trying everything imaginable.

Olson is now going to fight for same-sex marriage.

Do not praise him. Do not forgive him. Do not think this makes him a good guy. If you think I'm going to say something positive about him because he finally managed to get something right, you can forget about that right now.

If I had done as much to harm this country as Olson has done, I would jump off a bridge. He happens to be right about SSM...but if you've been repeatedly, obviously and disastrously wrong for your entire professional life, you don't deserve praise by getting one thing right late in the game.

Congratulations, Ted. You helped make a mockery of American democracy, "won" Bush v. Gore when the conservatives banded together to issue a preposterous, politically-motivated opinion (which, if applied consistently, would have invalidated the entire election), and helped give us perhaps the worst president in American history--a president who, among other things, wasted over 4,000 American lives fighting a senseless war in Iraq, a war that did nothing but divert resources from the war that we should have been fighting, the war agianst those who attacked us.

Your mother must be very proud.
