The Ides of February
Feb. 15th, 2006 08:33 amHealth: Can they do an IVP during that time of the month? *wonders*
News: This morning on the news, I heard some woman complaining that (paraphrase) "This hunting accident just illustrates the current administration's problems with being up-front with the American people."
To which I reply:
Dear Lady,
How naive do you think the American people are? I am SO sure that, if this had happened to Vice-President Gore, the Democrats would be all over the truth, getting the word out to us--not that we really would need to know; just in the interests of the truth, you understand.
My ass.
Stop the stupid whining when you know both sides would treat the situation in pretty much the same way. When you're in authority and must protect your reputation and do damage control, that takes precedence over party issues. Your whining doesn't fool any of us. If you were a Republican, the outrage wouldn't fool any of us. We grew up watching the news; we know hypocrisy when we see it. We've seen both sides engage in it. Give it a rest.
