LE PLUME DE SENATOR D'AMATEAU EST SUR LA TABLE
Sigh.
HRC shot itself in the foot big time when it endorsed incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Al D’Amateau over challenger Chuck Schumer. The (rather weak) reasoning was that it’s better to endorse an incumbent who is not hostile to our goals. This ended up being wrong because Schumer (despite voting for the despicable Defense of Marriage Act) has been a vocal and active supporter in the Senate for gay-rights causes; and because D’Amateau’s “support” was limited to one issue — gays in the military.
I don't know what to say. I honestly do not know what to say. Things like that make me want to cry.

Oh, and just in case you're as stupid -- and I do mean STUPID -- as the Editor of the New York Blade, please note that the man who served eighteen fucking years as a United States Senator from New York spells his name "D'Amato."

What a fucking idiot you are, Steve Weinstein. After that boneheaded mistake, it's impossible to take anything you've written seriously.
