Best entertainment on television and in the newspapers this week has been watching gay grooms, gay brides and their media enablers stamp their patent leathers and burble until they drool about obscure Kim Davis in obscure Morehead, Ky.
What, praytell, is there to get all het up about?
How many gay guys can there be in Kentucky? Three. Hmm. Two (or three) cheers for polygamy.
Ms. Davis was the No. 2 story yesterday in The New York Times. (Extremists aren’t always predictable.)
Ms. Davis rated the No. 1 editorial yesterday in the Times’s kid brother, the Los Angeles Times. Kill the broad. Or at least severely disable her. This is an outrage.
These boys know news.
Never mind President Obama’s latest fairy tales and excesses. Never mind the faltering stock market. Never mind the dangerous Black Lives Matter and Others Don’t Movement. Never mind the laughing-stock Iran deal.
Prior to Ms. Davis’s catapulsation to liberal ill-fame the other day, 80 percent of Americans didn’t know there was a Morehead. Forty percent of Democrats did not remember there was a Kentucky.
But, oh, they are furious with Ms. Davis. The classiest, most disciplined gay marriage supporters are advocating her beheading.
Ms. Davis, the clerk of Rowan County, you must know, declines to issue “marriage” licenses to boys who want to marry boys and girls who want to marry girls. Says it is contrary to “God’s authority.” Her religious awakening, happily, is contagious. Two other county clerks in Kentucky are emulating her.
Every morning when I wake up and every night when I fall asleep, I hear the drumbeat of those shiny gay patent leathers tattooing sidewalks the breadth and depth of North America to protest the latest self-ordained victimization of the gay community.
Consistently first with the worst story ideas these days, The New York Times dispatched one Josh (I Am a Big Wheel) Barro, essayist, to Morehead to enterprisingly mine for damp dirt that the furious Times could throw into the unremarkable face of Ms. Davis. When Mr. Barro, shovel at the ready, learned Ms. Davis had been married more than once, he, as they say at MSNBC where he appeared shocked, went ballistic.
Host Alex Wagner could not stop giggling. What a hypocrite, Ms. W and Mr. B roared. “She goes against God’s authority,” they said in unison.
And so the three exasperated gay guys in Kentucky remain on the open marital market. At least we know they probably won’t be seeking abortions. Meanwhile, Ms. Davis stands stoutly in the Rowan County Courthouse, bearing a Statue of Liberty torch in her outstretched right hand.
