Brilliant headline on gay marriage:

And, for the rest of the story:
Updated at 4:20 p.m. with response from Norm Dicks's office:

WASHINGTON -- President Obama's belated if unequivocal support for gay marriges puts him on the same side as all six congressional Democrats from Washington state.

The sixth Democrat, Rep. Norm Dicks of Bremerton, voted for the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)that defined marriage as between a woman and a man. Since then, he has strongly backed gay-rights issues, including voting against an amendment last year that would have barred military chaplains from marrying same-sex couples.

Isn't this just "classic". It should make all Democrats right "proud".

Well, at least now we know why they all support it ;-)

Kelly- Could you add this link under the great disco dance that Dicks was playing even though he is retiring?
