Lewis Black Tackles Gay Divorce
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.?
