Weirdly homophobic question at White House press briefing

[Uncle Roy]

I was reading the White House transcript of yesterday's press briefing, mainly because I was curious to see first-hand what kind of weaseling and waffling Scott McClellan would engage in rather than provide honest direct answers about the Cheney shooting incident.

The attack-sheep in the press were fairly persistent in their bleating, and Scotty was probably feeling a little harrassed, when out of nowhere came the following question:

Q There are Canadian news reports that the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has contended that one of the sexual orientations is sadomasochism, while in Ottawa, the Justice Department has called for the legalizing of polygamy. And my question: Does the President recognize these developments as logical progression from the current demand for same-sex marriage by the sodomy lobby?

MR. McCLELLAN: Are you talking about Canada? (Laughter.)

Q Canada, yes.

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, direct your questions to Canada.

Q No, no, no, I wanted to know what does the President think about this.

Does anyone know who on earth it was who asked this question?

How do such lunatics get into press briefings?

Here's the link to the complete transcript. It's worth reading, especially if you have a morbid sense of humor, but there's no additional context or info about the wacky homophobe. A reporter for Phelps News, maybe?
