Here's a frame: they're ludicrous.

Now this is more like it. Instead of asking Beltway consultants how to tiptoe around the "issue" of gay adoption without offending swing voters or pundits, Ohio state senator Robert Hagan goes on the offense. Following state rep. Ron Hood's proposal to ban gay adoption, Hagan introduces a similar measure to ban Republican adoption.

He says that children raised in Republican households are at risk for "emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos, and alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves and an air of overconfidence to mask their insecurities."

I wish more Democrats would handle outrageous Republican behavior in exactly this fashion.
