The Burlington Free Press’s story on the same-sex marriage rally at the State House, and the meeting with the Governor, includes the following classy quote from Smilin’ Jim:

“I think many Vermonters who agree with me don’t have the time to come to the Statehouse to rally.”

Nice, very nice. I guess what you’re saying, Jim, is that hardworking productive Vermonters support traditional marriage, while the layabouts, the unemployed, and the rabble are causing the “distraction” over this issue.

One more thing to remember in 2010, when Douglas again pulls out his good-guy moderate act.
