I got a good laugh when Kirsten posted this, and I finally remembered to mention it here.
Laura Bush recently expressed her “shock” over the gay marriage issue. In this Salon article she goes on to talk about sex education, mentioning that abstinence is “100 percent fail-safe.”
This raised Kirsten’s eyebrows, apparently…
And it suddenly occurred to me that this was just a little off…I mean – the Bushes are hardcore christians, right?
That abstinence bit worked REAL well for Mary and Joseph, didn’t it? It’s 100% fail-safe, after all.
