C'mon, boys, double dog dare ya-

Several years ago, when Bill Maher hosted a TV show called "Politically Incorrect," senator in limbo Al Franken and blogmaven Arianna Huffington used to crawl into a big bed together and talk politics.

We should encourage that sort of thing.

As if.

But as a thought experiment, consider this discussion pair: what if Daniel J. Cassidy- who hates queers like nobody's bidness but yields to no one in being an extreme conservative- chatted with the writers at Gay Patriot- who are stuck being gay but also yield to no one in being an extreme conservative?

Why won't Savonarola recognize that medieval political and public policy views trump sexual orientation any day and welcome GPats into his circle of bigots? And why won't GPats come clean over why they are so boned up to be accepted by bigots like Daniel J. Cassidy?

All the space the parties want here to thrash out they can hate so many of the same groups and ideas and still not like each other.
