Tony Snow's answer today?
Q You mentioned civil rights. Are you comparing this to various civil rights measures which have come to the Congress over the years?

MR. SNOW: Not -- well, these -- it --

Q Is this a civil right?

MR. SNOW: Marriage? It actually -- what we're really talking about here is an attempt to try to maintain the traditional meaning of an institution that has maintained one meeting for -- meaning for a period of centuries. And furthermore --

Q And you would equate that with civil rights?

MR. SNOW: No, I'm just saying that I think -- well, I don't know. How do you define civil rights?

Q It's not up to me. Up to you.

A. Well, you know that negro woman Rosa Parks? She wanted to sit at the front of the bus instead of in the back where she belonged. So, she made a big ol' mess and the country eventually passed Civil Rights legislation. That's pretty much what it means.

Classic. Asking a Fox News Anchor to define Civil Rights is like asking Al Gore to tell you why Global Warming might be a good thing!
