I can handle anything that life throws at me—I may not be able to handle it well, or correctly, or gracefully, or with finesse, or expediently—but I will handle it. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

As Mr. Bush substituted Saddam Hussein for Osama bin Laden, so he seems confused about the enemy here. Even as he gets bogged down battling gay couples who want the same civil rights as other Americans, the real culprit goes about its business. That culprit is a heterosexual culture determined to reduce marriage to a voyeuristic spectator sport as brutal and commercial as pro football but not nearly so entertaining or harmless.
