Make sure to tune in to Mike DeBonis and Tim Craig, who are both posting live updates from D.C. Council chambers as a bill that would allow the District to recognize same sex marriages performed legally in other jurisdictions is debated. Apparently the full Council actually initially voted unanimously, without debate, to pass the legislation, but then Ward 8 Council member Marion Barry (D), who last week pledged to vote against the bill, asked that the bill be reconsidered because he didn't realize what he had just voted on. DeBonis is reporting that since debate began, it's gotten pretty damned heated, with Barry and Catania trading barbs about which position is more moral.

Anything else he didn't realize he was doing? Like transferring cash to the Cayman Islands instead of paying his taxes? WTF?
The image of Barry and Catania having a hot, sweaty argument over what position they should take isn't nearly as arousing as it sounds. Particularly when you consider that they're both bottoms.
"Particularly when you consider that they're both bottoms."
Priceless.
Tim already got it wrong in his first post at 11:11 am when he related that there'd been a vote, when as of noon there had not yet been one. Not exactly the finest hour for WashPost reporting.
Actually, the first vote was at 11:11am. That's the one where Barry didn't know what he was voting on and subsequently asked for a reconsider...
