LAKE GENEVA, Wis. - Note to Sen. Sam Brownback: When in Packerland, don’t diss Brett Favre.

The Kansas Republican drew boos and groans from the audience at the state Republican Party convention Friday evening when he used a football analogy to talk about the need to rebuild the family.

“This is fundamental blocking and tackling,” he said. “This is your line in football. If you don’t have a line, how many passes can Peyton Manning complete? Greatest quarterback, maybe, in NFL history.” Oops.

Realizing what he had said, Brownback slumped at the podium and put his head in his hands as the crowd expressed its displeasure.

2. I take it the crowd's displeasure
wasn't at the football analogy itself, but that he didn't reference a Green Bay player.

But I can't even begin to understand how blocking and tackling is connected to rebuilding the family. Violence within the family unit is okay? How about some kind of analogy that honors all members of the family, treats everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, or place within the family unit?
