Poor Pete

He's been such a flop at getting a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in Illinois that he's reduced to protesting civil unions. Here's a fairly good report from ABC:


The last time he had a petition drive for an advisory referendum, he didn't even bother to submit the petitions -- he couldn't get enough signatures to meet the minimum, even counting Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. May he have equal success with this one. Of course, this time he'll probably hit up Maggie's Laundry for funds.

Oh, and Pete? It is about civil rights. It always has been.
