    Yanno, it’s one thing to love your son, and quite another to back a false principle. Is Portman a hypocrite? Goes without saying. Is he an idiot? That also follows.

    As has already been asked, if his son had chosen polygamy would Portman have come out in favor of that? Let’s take it further: Were the son to join the Socialist Worker’s Party would Portman start backing Obama? If his son were to show signs of schizophrenia would Portman favor emptying mental institutions?

    This reminds me of Carter looking to his pre-teen daughter Amy for advice on policy… or at least the justification therefore.
