Lewis Black was back on the “Daily Show” on Wednesday satirizing the debate over gay marriage. After playing a clip of Congressman Phil Gingrey, in which the lawmaker said, “In my opinion, marriage isn’t just any kind of love. It’s a love that can bear children,” Black quipped, “Hey Congressman, take my word for it. A one-night stand with no love, a Quaalude and three beers can also bear children.”
Black went on to poke fun at the recent news that the first lesbian couple married in Massachusetts has separated. “This is a huge problem. Divorce is a sacred institution between a man and a woman who hate each other. God wanted Adam to pay alimony to Eve, not Steve. To paraphrase Congressman Gingrey, it’s not just any kind of hate, it’s a hate that can ruin children.”
