Marriage Of Convenience

Kirchick tackles Bill Clinton over his recent epiphany:

After leaving office [with DADT and DOMA under his belt], Clinton added insult to injury. We also know that in 2004, he advised John Kerry to support not only the many state-level constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, but also the Federal Marriage Amendment championed by President George W. Bush. Five years later, with a series of states having legalized same-sex marriage, the polls decisively showing a generational surge in support for the cause, and -- most importantly in terms of this discussion -- the definitive end of the Clinton dynasty upon us, Bill Clinton wants us to know that he “basically” supports gay marriage.

Pardon me for being cool toward the latest tergiversations of this congenital liar and shameless opportunist.
