The Department of Good Timing

I imagine there are more appropriate times to emphasize just how capable of wretched behavior you can be...but when has good taste and rationality ever been a problem for Franklin Graham?

Evangelist Franklin Graham is praising Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive crackdown on homosexuality, saying his record on protecting children from gay “propaganda” is better than President Barack Obama’s “shameful” embrace of gay rights...

“In my opinion, Putin is right on these issues,” Graham wrote. “Obviously, he may be wrong about many things, but he has taken a stand to protect his nation’s children from the damaging effects of any gay and lesbian agenda.

Apparently that "agenda" is conveniently located in the heart of Sevastopol.
