Dan Savage, on CNN yesterday, debated the Prop 8 debacle with smug asshat Tony Perkins. We really think Savage did a good job arguing with this waste of space.
On why he interrupted Perkins so much, Savage explains:
And, yes, I did interrupt Tony Perkins—quite a lot. I've been on TV with Mr. Perkins before, and his MO is never shut up, and run out the clock, and interrupt. And I just wasn't having it tonight.Don't forget about Saturday's National Protest Against Prop 8. Contrary to what other smug asshats say, this is our generation's civil rights movement.

I love that Dan wasn't having it, but I'm also just frustrated that Perkins gets airtime at all. Even on a simple, verifiable point like more youth voters casting votes *against* Prop 8 than for it, Perkins slithers around to imply the opposite. If the guy can't do math, what good is he? I mean seriously, when we discuss the economy, should also we give the people who think 2+2=3 or 5--possibly 7 in rare instances--a voice?
He also just did Colbert and made him blush a few times. The guy does great work.

He's always great on Colbert - one of few celeb/pundits that really understand how to work the show.
Bravo, Dan!
First let me say - I was very much against Prop 8.
Savage did alright on Colbert. No great shakes. I often find him insufferable.
