So Johnny Boy decides that it's time to show the country that he's "lovable" and "just-like-us" and all that bull sh*t politicians try to do every election cycle, and he goes on Saturday Night Live to prove.... well, that he's not really that funny (catch the clip below). In fact, he tried to make a joke about "gaydar" needing to be left to the states and not the federal government, even though when a state makes that decision for itself, he doesn't believe they should be allowed to make that decision...
And it appears that Barney Frank agrees. McCain isn't funny. And just to clarify what McCain is, Frank put it this way:
In every other area, McCain has a consistent voting record against our efforts. In 1996, the only time the Senate voted on the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, McCain was one of those who voted no. He has also consistently voted against extending hate crimes protection to gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender individuals.
…
Given the alignment of Supreme Court Justices, and their ages, it is virtually certain that if John McCain is president, he will appoint justices who will overturn the Lawrence decision and the leading Supreme Court opponent of fair treatment for gay and lesbian people, Antonin Scalia, will gain allies from McCain’s appointments.
