Final, absolute, clinching proof that the republicans are about 15 years out of touch.

Remember earlier this month when I said the state of the Republican party was reminding me of the early years of Michael J. Fox's sitcom, Spin City? Well, it's happened again.

In the pilot episode of that series, Barry Bostwick as the bumbling mayor is asked by an interviewer,

"Mr. Mayor, would you consider marching in the Gay Pride Parade this week?"

And he replies, "What are you, drunk?"

Meanwhile, today (via Think Progress),

When Asked Whether He Would ‘Consider’ Gay Civil Unions, [Michael] Steele, [chairman of the Republican Party] Replies, ‘What Are You, Crazy?’

It's like watching people dig their own graves...
