6. Especially on the gay marriage thing. And Chuckles would not back down.

"I'm for gay marriage! It's none of my BUSINESS if gay people want to be married."

"They can't do anything to me. I don't work for them."

7. There is no hidden agenda in him, either...

... and that is a beautiful thing.

I also challenge any Republican to say anything false and negative about him. I think you would have to fear a serious arse-whipping.
