Savage vs. Perkins

Below, Dan Savage and Tony Perkins argue about Prop 8. (Via Andrew Sullivan.) I’m not a fan of people raising their voices and interrupting each other on TV, but Savage is great here with his cogent one-liners. This one’s my favorite:

Perkins: “Boy, you can’t get a word in edgewise here.”
Savage: “Well, you stripped me of my rights and I interrupt you. Who’s really suffering here?”

Savage blogs, “And, yes, I did interrupt Tony Perkins—quite a lot. I’ve been on TV with Mr. Perkins before, and his MO is never shut up, and run out the clock, and interrupt. And I just wasn’t having it tonight.”

Go Dan.
