The governor of Pennsylvania, who has previously told state schools if they need more money, drill for natural gas on their grounds, and that the unemployed don't want the jobs that are out there going unfilled, is at it again:
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett is apologizing for comparing same-sex marriage to the marriage of a brother and sister during a Friday television interview, angering gay-rights groups.
The Republican was asked about a statement by state lawyers in a recent court filing that likened same-sex couples to 12-year-olds who wished to wed but couldn't under Pennsylvania law.
"It was an inappropriate analogy, you know," Corbett told the anchor on WHP-TV in Harrisburg.
"I think a much better analogy would have been brother and sister, don't you?" he added, with a smile.
Of course, after that came the requisite Republican Party apology line for getting caught saying what he really thinks:
Hours after the interview aired, Corbett issued a written statement: "My words were not intended to offend anyone. If they did, I apologize."
