on any politician. I critique their performance and their plans, but not their personalities, with the rare exception of Carolyn Parish. And even in her case, making a judgement of her personality and intelect based on her on-screen performance turned out to be a mistake - I was of the opinion that she was an idiot and a lunatic, and later received a well thought out personal correspondance from her which showed her to be more than capable of acting like an intelligent, reasonable human being. She just goes apes4 when someone sticks a camera in her face. So now I avoid making judgements about the personalities of politicians entirely. It's not neccesary - their performance is what we should be concerned with.
I guess I just never expected you to stoop so low. Stupid comments based on nothing but gossip (you call it "news" I call it gossip) are...well, there's very few things which piss me off more. You want to debate policy or whatever, fine, but this "Bush doesn't care about his people" just isn't on. |
