Who Says Americans Don't Do Irony

You have to chuckle. Kenneth Starr, the bespectacled attorney with the mouth like a hens arse who harrassed Bill Clinton and ploughed through the Presidential muck to highlight Billy the Kid's extracurricular activities with one Monica Lewinsky, has been hired to make sure all the gay couples married under the Californian law permitting gay marriage are now un-married since Proposition 8 has been passed through the legislature. Proposition 8, in case you didn't know and if you're from the UK you probably don't (it hasn't had a lot of coverage this side of the Pond), was the proposition reversing the state permission for gay marriage.
So the pecksniff who formerly made great capital out of extramarital hanky panky is now tasked with ensuring bonking out of wedlock.
It's enough to give you a hernia and yes Alanis, that is ironic.
