Picture 2-239As the New York Assembly readies itself to once again pass marriage equality, The New York Times takes a look at the marriage bill's sponsor, Assemblyman Daniel O'Donnell, Go check it out:

But he is also using the Assembly vote as a way to pressure members of the Senate, where the legislation’s fate will be decided, and demonstrate to wary senators that there is support in their districts for the bill.

Wait a minute: An O'Donnell is in the public stage on the same day that Donald Trump announces the fate of a Miss USA contestant? Oy. We've seen how this script can play out.

But of course the only Trump with which Danny's concerned is the idea that equality trumps bias. In a perfect world, the media would care as much about that as they did the aforementioned tête-à-tête .
