SALT LAKE CITY — Kody Brown and his four wives filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday challenging Utah's law that criminalizes polygamy.

If marriage isn’t one man, one woman, it can be anything!

I only thought he had one. Be excommunicated from the Mormon Church if he had more. Harry Reid is Mormon, maybe he is stashing some at the Mustang Ranch :P

One wife is too much. I would say that would be the max for any sane person.

>>What do Romney’s wives have to say about this?<<

* John McCain says he is looking forward to reaching across the aisle to the other wives.
* John Boehner, upon hearing the news, cried for joy
* Arnold Schwarzenegger looked at all the rest of the wives and turned around in a thong saying “I’ll be the back.”
* Mitch McConnell said that he has it set up so that McCain will get the blame
* Newt Gingrich was busy telling all the other wives each were the best all the while trying to get his pillow time

Exactly so. The queers and libertarians deny this, but it will lead to further societal destruction.
