Transcript of Cross Afire #7:
Gay Marriage: A Modest Compromise

Pat Buchanan: Jerry, are you aware 36% of Americans favor fully equal gay marriage?

Jerry Falwell: I can't believe 36% of Americans are gay!

Pat: Inexplicably, some Americans vote to protect people other than themselves!

Jerry: Tell those Communists to go back to Russia!

Pat: Given the growing public support, we on the right may have to compromise. But we can't let a gay marriage equal a real marriage!

Jerry: No! It must be worth less!

Pat: But how much less?

Jerry: Good question! How much do interracial marriages count for?

Pat: Er, they're equal.

Jerry: What?!

Jerry: I think 3/5 would be more than generous! And with historic precedent!

Pat: Special guest Colin Powell, what do you think of our New Millennium Three-Fifths Compromise?

Colin Powell: [punches Jerry Fallwell in the jaw] Try again.

Jerry: Ow!!
