As mentioned in the Snopes article, it first started circulating in May 2000 and was incorporated into the West Wing in October 2000.

My question is, did the writer who coordinated that scene admit that it wasn't original? A journalist was fired for claiming it as hers as late as August of 2003.

It is still factually accurate.
Biblical sodomy encompasses many things, not just same sex relations or anal sex.
So, how does someone today upgrade one part of one of 614 abominations to sin on a whim?
To me it is their sexual obsession and closet homoerotisim that they are unable to deal with coming out as anger and the need to punish others for what they want to do.
There is nothing biblical about it.
The removal of the crabcake at the end was hilarious, crab is also an abomination.

When my family and I were watching the DVD of this a few weeks ago, we absolutely had to go back and watch this scene like, five times. It is so perfectly executed, its absolutely exquisite in its complete and utter destruction of that harpy.

Well... my dad wasn't watching. Just me, momma, and my sister.

If he'd'a been there he wouldnt've been too keen on the rewatching i suppose.

I consider it to be the best book I've ever read....and I've read a lot.
