Poll question: I see folks getting this wrong all the time: Box Turtles
Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 08:02 AM by LynneSin
Which US Senator made the following quote about box turtles?

It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right. Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife.

I'm posting this because I'm seeing this associated with the wrong senator all the time. Let's give the right nut-bag job due credit.

So today's quiz is simple: Which US Senator made the above quote about Box Turtles?

5. None. (spoiler ahead)
It was in a speech "as prepared" for Cornyn, but he never said it. He didn't like the line. The press duly reported the quote anyhow. Gee, what a surprise.

6. It's attributed (never spoken) to the same dip shit whose understanding
of the Geneva Convention comes from watching 'Hogan's Heroes' (which he did say).
