Gard v. SpongeBob

The Capital Times editorializes:

Assembly Speaker John Gard, R-Peshtigo, is so determined to beat up on gays and lesbians that he has joined the crowd that thinks cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants is a homosexual poster boy.

Gard's goofiness would be embarrassing enough if he just engaged in it on a personal basis. But with his attempt to make a formal link between the state and the most extreme elements on the homophobic fringe, the Assembly speaker is associating the good name of Wisconsin with intolerance, ignorance and intellectual imbalance. Read it all.
