This whole Santorum thing just shows how stupid we have become.
I wrote a little bit in the comments box, but I just wanted to share some particularly obtuse commentary from Sam Donaldson, roughly:
I don’t get how Rick Santorum can say he doesn’t have a problem with homosexuality, but does have a problem with homosexual acts. Can you say you disapprove of adultery, but have no problem with adulterers?
Perhaps part of the problem is that, in the popular mind, there is no difference between the orientation and the act. (In the popular mind, after all, chastity is freakish.) If Senator Santorum has something like, “I don’t have a problem with people who experience same-sex attraction”, would that have been a bit more clear?
