No words wasted

One of the things I love about William Donohue from the Catholic League is that he is a master of using the fewest words possible to sum up his arguments. Take this concluding paragraph from his latest press release regarding the ridiculous Prop 8 trial:

Plato condemned sodomy. Jefferson thought it should be a felony. Neither was Catholic. And neither they, nor the Catholic Church, ever thought it was okay for gay bashers to act out their hatred. That this even needs to be said doesn’t speak well for where [attorney David] Boies wants to go.

I haven't been able to locate any transcript of Boies's full remarks online or I'd provide a link to them. I'm sure they contain enough insulating circumlocution to avoid setting off the bigotry meters of the thickheaded, but Donohue's is much sharper as is ours.
