Really deeply silly people

For a bunch of people who claim that they're (a) tough and (b) opposed to gay rights, they sure say some (a) silly and (b) homoerotic shit:

– FRANKS (R-AZ_: “President Bush often had to walk like a knowing lion — like a knowing lion, Mr. Speaker, through the chattering of hyenas. … [I]f those critics do not devour themselves in the meantime, Mr. Speaker, they may face the bared teeth of an enemy that will make us all wish the lion still walked among us.”

What?!?
