What is Tom Harkin’s Wife Thinking?
(Tom Harkin with two women–neither of whom are Ruth Harkin.)
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Ia) is apparently for more adultery. Longing for a return to the Clinton era, Harkin has suggested that the Military Code of Justice be changed to allow for more philandering among hetero and homosexuals in the military.
Harkin asked retiring Gen. Peter Pace about his “hurtful” comment that homosexual activity is morally wrong:
Pace’s lengthy answer on gays was prodded by Sen. Tom Harkin, who said he found Pace’s previous remarks as “very hurtful” and “very demoralizing” to homosexuals serving in the military.
In March, the Chicago Tribune reported that Pace said in a wide-ranging interview: “I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way.”
Harkin, D-Iowa, said he wanted to give Pace a chance to amend his remarks in light of his retirement.
“It’s a matter of leadership, and we have to be careful what we say,” Harkin said.
Pace noted that the U.S. Military Code of Justice prohibits homosexual activity as well as adultery. Harkin said, “Well, then, maybe we should change that.”
I wonder what Mrs. Harkin is thinking right now . . . .
