Marcus Bachmann Vows to Battle Gay Marriage as First Husband

Posted by on Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 12:31 PM

The New York Times reports that Marcus Bachmann has decided what his cause will be as First Husband:

...if Michele Bachmann becomes president, her husband, Marcus, said Friday that he would use his time as first spouse to wage a pro-marriage, pro-family and pro-life campaign.

“I’ve decided my cause is not going to be happy meals,” he said during a stop at the Family Table Restaurant here, apparently a dig at Mrs. Obama....“We are going to get this message across,” he said. “Marriage is between one man and one woman. We are going to promote families.”

One truth you cannot deny about Marcus Bachmann: His marriage certainly does consist of one man and one woman.

And if those wholesome, American families are released from their loveless marriages by an early death from a Happy-Meal-induced heart attack, then so be it!

So he's going to continue his current waste of time and fat ass space?

God, I am so tired of these unelected First Husbands using their wiles to unduly influence policy!

Come now Marcus...you probably won't be able to stop the inevitability of legalized gay marriage but you could stop the gays from eating happy meals..please..please!! This is a real problem for me and my people. I can't help myself! It is just soooo GAY to eat a happy meal...I feel even more gay after. Alas!

Aw, give the guy a break. Being the First Lady has been his lifelong dream.

I can't remember Marcus Bachmann's voice off the top of my head, so I read his entire quote in Eric Stonestreet's voice. But it just wasn't gay enough.

Did anybody else get an Imelda Marcos vibe off of Michelle last night? The all-white, the hair, the caked-on makeup? Does that make Marcus Ferdinand?

@8 - If you mean this Ferdinand: http://tinyurl.com/7slrln9

Thank God he and his wife are getting nowhere near the white house.

@8: No, because Marcus is the one with more shoes.

Somehow, the fact that Marcus Bachman is so obviously gay makes it harder for me to hate him for this shit.

Wait, so their choices are Michelle with a gay husband or Perry who is a gay husband?

Sigh, so many closeted Repubs, so little room in the Clown Car.

And seeing Marcus is such an all around brave and super-dooper guy, he's volunteering, no insisting that he fight the menace of marriage equality in the OSS/Green Beret?CIA style of going deep undercover behind enemy lines, yes while the hate filled bigots at nom are happy to just sit around and cry, Marcus will be meeting the enemy at Tea Dances, in truck stop rest rooms, even Kathy Griiffen shows.

While tony perkins cries on CNN, Marcus will be taking on dozens of Gay Guys.

Yes Marcus is oiled up and ready for action from wherever it comes in him...

@17 - I are a bad girl.

But in my defense, there is a resemblance...

Why can't the Christians pray this Gay away?
