Obama to announce benefits for federal employees' same-sex partners

[fflo]

Hot on the heels of the Obama Justice Dept's crappy brief about DOMA, tomorrow the President's gonna come out with this supposedly good news, but with a caveat: the homo partners won't get all of the benefits. Only some. Like, not all the health insurance benefits.

What fraction of them do you suppose they'll get? Perhaps 3/5??

"Compromise" sometimes is a dirty word, Mr. President.

I laughed at the "3/5" line. Brilliant. I also like this line from Wonkette: "These benefits will not include broad health insurance coverage, though, which is the thing most people think about when they think about 'employment benefits.' Maybe they will get discounts when they visit national parks or something?"

What a joke.
