    White House agnostic on bestiality in the military [VIDEO]

    By Jordan Bloom - The Daily Caller | The Daily Caller – Wed, Dec 7, 2011

    Bestiality isn’t a common subject of White House press briefings.

    But that changed Monday, when White House Press Secretary Jay Carney granted WorldNetDaily reporter and radio host Lester Kinsolving a question during a press briefing. Kinsolving proceeded to ask about the president’s support for a recent Senate vote that would repeal bans on sodomy and bestiality in the U.S. military.

    “The Family Research Council and CNS News both reported a 93-to-7 U.S. Senate vote to approve a defense authorization bill that, quote, ‘includes a provision which not only repeals the military law on sodomy, but also repeals the military ban on sex with animals, or bestiality,’” said Kinsolving, introducing a typically long-winded question.

    “Does the commander-in-chief approve or disapprove of bestiality in our armed forces?”

    “I don’t have any comment on�“I don’t have any comment on that,” Carney responded. “Let me go to another question.”

    “Let’s get to something more serious.”

    Carney then turned to ABC White House correspondent Jake Tapper, but Tapper wasn’t going to let the press secretary get off so easily:

    TAPPER: You sure you don’t want to ask Lester another question? Give him another opportunity? (Laughter.)

    CARNEY: I’ve learned my lesson, Jake. (Laughter.)

    KINSOLVING: Just one–

    CARNEY: Lester, I think we’ll — we’ll let everybody get a chance here. Go ahead, Jake.

    TAPPER: Are you sure you don’t want to take any more questions on beastiality [sic]?

    Kinsolving has long been considered the gadfly of the White House press corps, and his often offbeat questions on controversial topics have been featured on the Daily Show and elsewhere.

    PETA chided the White House Press Secretary for his glib dismissal of Kinsolving’s question.

    “We were upset to note that you flippantly addressed the recently approved repeal of the military ban on bestiality. With respect, this is no laughing matter,” the letter said.

      The UCMJ does not cover all laws. Remember that a troop can still be prosecuted under local, federal, and state laws for beatiality. PLUS, the UCMJ has the catch all article. Art 134. They just updated an old law in the UCMJ. Until now, having oral sex with your spouse could get a troop two years in jail. The finally updated it. Now that the military does not use horses much, this is a good idea. The military will not let troops have sex with animals. This you can count on. I am a 30 year vet and I know the UCMJ very well. It was my job. This is all about nothing.

      My campaign must start making ad buys this week. But as it stands now, we need a massive influx of funds.

      Hussein Obama & the Democrats after taxing the rich more to make up for lost revenue, what about all of the money we are loosing from lack of payment for applying for citizenship in this country. That has to be in the billions and why does Hussein choose to over look this problem? just as Hussein feels that the rich should pay their fair share; the illegal should pay their fair share too.

      Since the Illegals do not pay for a Green card or citizenship, we should not have to pay any taxes. they are not paying the fees, this is an even trade off. just as Hussein feels that the rich should pay their fair share in taxes.

      Hussein Obama was worried that a black leader would replace him and do a better job. So he used his campaign money to buy people to create stories to kill Herman's campaign.

      last week Congress just lifted the restriction on limited work visa's. So Corporation can bring more skilled worker into this country. So Congress bypass The Department of Education and the Department of Labor to not make sure that you are trained to fill those jobs. So why have those departments?
