What?!

I have a cold which is making my brain not work right. Maybe that's why I can't figure out what in the world Alan Keyes' latest comment is about.

U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes told a rally Saturday that incest was "inevitable" for children raised by gay couples because the children might not know both biological parents.

"If we do not know who the mother is, who the father is, without knowing all the brothers and sisters, incest becomes inevitable," Keyes told the Marquette Park rally held to oppose same-sex marriages.

"Whether they mean it or not, that is what will happen. If you are masked from your knowing your biological parents, you are in danger of encountering brothers and sisters you have no knowledge of."

I think that he's saying that because the child is adopted and doesn't know who his biological parents are, he might have sisters that he doesn't know about and might fall in love with one of them.

Never mind of course that this could happen to any child who's adopted and doesn't know the identity of his birth parents.

Keyes is starting to rival George W. Bush in his propensity to keep his foot in his mouth.

I'm no fan of Bush, but I think Keyes beats him hands down in the foot-in-mouth department!

His thinking is so muddled it's bizarre.
