We cats appreciate the fact that Republican Senator Rob Portman is driving conservatives crazy today with his reversal on marriage equality.
We just have one complaint: Portman needs a grammar teacher.
"My son came to Jane, my wife, and I [sic], and told us that he was gay." Of course, that should have been "came to Jane, my wife, and me."
We cats have no idea how somebody makes it to the US Senate, or pens op-eds for The Columbus Dispatch, for that matter, without knowing basic English. (And a big HISS to the Dispatch copy editors for not correcting it, either.)
However, we might give Portman a pass. Just this once — and only because he followed up his error with this: "He told us that he was gay, and that it was not a choice, and that’s just part of who he is, and that’s who he’d been for as long as he could remember.”
So kudos to the near-Vice-Presidential nominee for pointing out the obvious. Because a lot of Republicans apparently need that. We cats PURR.
