Morning Piss: Obama Picks and Chooses Who Gets Rights

Obama's continuing his snail-like pace of acknowledging gay rights—or gay people at all—not only by supporting the hateful Defense of Marriage Act, but also stalling on following through with the campaign promise to abolish the equally reprehensible "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Oh, but now he's giving same-sex rights to federal employees. To only federal employees and their partners, that is. Talk about nepotism! What if I just gave celeb scoops on Robsten and Britney only to others in the goss biz? Doesn't seem fair, does it?
So if you work for the U.S. government, your marriage matters more? Maybe it's my big fat ego speaking (it clearly is), but I consider gossip reporting just as important an occupation as whatever they're off doing in the White House. Oh no? We give new info and entertainment every damn day here on the A.T., whereas the Obama administration is barely trickling out all that change they promised back in November. This is the best he can do? What the hell else are you doing in there, playing basketball and fetch with Bo?
Or should we be overjoyed that at least some gay couples are getting benefits while others are still being denied? We're more pissed there are homos working right inside D.C.'s HQ who aren't demanding more. I surely am, and I'll continue to do so.
