MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) -- Vermont has become the fourth state to legalize gay marriage -- and the first to do so with a legislature's vote.

The Legislature voted Tuesday to override Gov. Jim Douglas' veto of a bill allowing gays and lesbians to marry. The vote was 23-5 to override in the state Senate and 100-49 to override in the House. Under Vermont law, two-thirds of each chamber had to vote for override.

Hells to the yes. Take that, Gov. Douglas.

Funny aside: Either Saturday or Sunday (I think Sunday) I was out with Joe and we ended up behind a car with a "Got Vermont" sticker and a couple of others, including a McCain-Palin sticker.

I kind of want to find that car now. And gloat.
