Steve Schmidt Warns Republican Party, Iowa County Recorders Warned To Obey Gay Marriage Law, NOM Nonsense, Morrissey Hates Meat, Scott Speedman

Steve Schmidt delivered a speech Friday to the Log Cabin Republican gay rights group in Washington, where as anticipated, he called on the Party to support same-sex marriage, warning that actively opposing gay marriage runs the risk of continuing to alienate voters and turning the Republicans into a sectarian political party.

The Assistant Attorney General of Iowa is responsible for Friday’s memo to state county recorders, reminding officials to comply with the Iowa Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage. The memo’s necessity arose after some state Republicans spoke of adding a “conscious clause” to the constitutional amendment that would permit county recorders to opt out of issuing a marriage license to homosexual couples if their religion opposes gay marriage.

The National Organization for Marriage, led by Maggie Gallagher, have, um, thanked Stephen Colbert for parodying the group’s A Storm is Gathering ad, insisting that Colbert was “a double-agent, pretending to pretend to be a conservative, to pull one over on Hollywood,” and that now she is certain, apparently contending that Colbert is actually anti-gay marriage.

Morrissey managed to advocate the message that meat is murder all while delivering a set Friday evening in Coachella mostly of Smiths’ songs, including opening with This Charming Man and ending with How Soon Is Now? Morrissey walked off the state repeatedly during his performance, complaining of being nauseated by the smell of a nearby barbeque.

Scott Speedman, so sexy, did Coachella Friday, working a sort of late Vincent Van Gough look minus the whole missing ear accessory.
