Could someone please tell me what “uxorious” means?

As loser Maureen used the word here, she's referring to gay marriage.

But would someone enlighten me as to why John Effing Kerry-Heinz is described as "Brahmin"? That refers to the Hindu priestly caste, as I recall. Didn't know that Kerry was also an Indian. :-)

"...a chesty President Bush and Dick Cheney prevailing by making the case that they could protect America from vicious terrorists and uxorious gays better than the Brahmin they painted as a sissy."

Uxorious

• (a.) Excessively fond of, or submissive to, a wife; being a dependent husband.

  I believe the reference is to mincy, limp-wristed gays, you know, the sterotype?  Thought Dems weren't into sterotypes.
