Video: Duncan Makes News Answering "Same Sex" Question

This is Arne Duncan looking really uncomfortable on Morning Joe yesterday AM, thinking he's been ambushed and had maybe pulled a Biden.  Duncan was just there on the MSNBC show to promote Teacher Appreciation Week.  His answer didn't make things any easy for the re-elect folks trying to do the ridiculous job of walking back Joe Biden's remarks the day before.  Maybe somebody should have warned him this might happen and what to say if it did.  But still it was still admirably candid and simple.

A simple answer from a politician?

Pinch me.

Seriously, it’s good to see him make no discrepancy about it. It doesn’t need further explanation, really.

I just wish he had said, "I don't know if I've ever been asked publicly, considering my job is about education, so marriage is out of my jurisdiction." I'm sure it would've elicited some kind of response, so his answer was probably better.
