| It is very sad to read the thread tonight. Someone dredges up an ancient misdemeanor that is completely irrelevant to the matter at hand, i.e., the election. To top it off, it was a DUI at a resort on Labor Day! It should not have been brought up, it is too minor and occurred too many years ago. Instead of deploring the indecency of making this a major topic in the evening news cycle, or at least treating it as the gossamer thing it is, the Democrats leap about and thump their chests and jeer and bray. After winking at the mendacity of Clinton and Gore, and trying to pass of one of the most ineffectual administrations of this century as the bringer of Peace and Prosperity, they insult our intelligence further by pretending outrage at this triviality, and attempting to get mileage out of it, as, after all, their hero Flynt has not come through, and the Globe attempt to recycle the AWOL allegations has dissolved. After defending a man who cost Betty Curry untold misery and legal expenses, and who would willing have portrayed his paramour as a stalker and worse; a man whose personal notion of loyalty and honor is to use those around him with little care and less consideration; whose notion of his duty to uphold the Constitution and the laws extended only as far as his interests, and then fell into the abyss of his egotism and appetites: after defending such a man, they are now going to cast stones at George W. Bush for a 24 year old misdemeanor? I am disgusted..... |
