Demonic Urges

Another of the candidates for the Republican National Committee reveals a bit too much information. Remember just a wk. or so ago the big question for the candidates was: "How many guns do you own?" (The correct answer to which, by the way, is Phil Gramm's "Moe-are thain Ah nee-yud, but naw-wut as mainy as Ah'd lahk.") Here, from Michelangelo Signorile via Righteous Bubba, is former Ohio SecState Ken Blackwell, in his own words. MS: Did you choose to be heterosexual? Did you wake up one day and say I want to be heterosexual? KB: The answer is that I've never had to make the choice because I've never had the urge to be other than a heterosexual, but if in fact I had the urge to be something else I could have in fact suppressed that urge. OK. How is Mr. Blackwell at suppressing his "heterosexual" urges? Does he have other "urges" that enable him to know he could easily suppress anything as relatively conventional as "homosexual" urges? (An urge to marry a goat, say?)
