Conservative political figures and pundits alike are flailing in the face of what’s looking like the beginning of the end of marriage inequality. No matter what the eventual verdict is in this week’s Supreme Court hearings or what the other side argues, it’s starting to become clear that marriage equality will inevitably become a reality.

Case in point: Bill O’Reilly supports gay marriage.

That’s correct. The man who once compared a man marrying another man to a man marrying an ungulate has now (sort of) embraced same-sex marriage.

“The compelling argument is on the side of the homosexuals,” O’Reilly said on his show after Tuesday’s Prop 8 hearing. “We’re Americans, we just want to be treated like everyone else.”

But no one is more aghast at this conservative talking head’s abrupt 180 than fake-conservative talking head Stephen Colbert.

Colbert, who supposedly based his over-the-top on-screen persona at least partially on O’Reilly, addressed the Fox host’s change of heart on his own show Wednesday night.

“Even Papa Bear let me down,” Colbert lamented.

But it wasn’t bears (grrrr) that shook Colbert, but goats (baaaah?).

“If Bill O’Reilly is not pro-gay marriage,” Colbert said, “and isn’t a phony flip-flopper like Bill Clinton, that means back when he said gay marriage was like marrying a goat, he was really telling us he was pro-goat marriage.”

In a world where Bill O’Reilly relents on gay marriage, anything is possible.

GOAT MARRIAGE NOW!
