We will finally get to see Bush on the same stage with a Republican Congressman - Hastert at the State of the Union Message. He has avoided appearing with other Republican Congressmen like they had the plague. He seems to understand the public view of Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, Don Nichols, Trent Lott, Phil Gramm etc.

The analogy of yards gained to incorrectly punched ballots in Palm Beach is so weak it is not even worthy of discussion. Analogies can be made to simplify complex subjects, but in this simplification certain fallacies can be created. In you analogy, a ref is like a judge and rules of football are like laws. refs are not like judges because they make split second calls based on the action that happens before their eyes. Judges make ruling based on pages of pleadings, days of testimony and personal observations and must rely on these other sources to provide the information on which they make decisions. A judge's decision can be appealed to at least 3 courts and many are. A refs decision is final. The rules of football are clear and concise. The rule of law is confusing and complex. Sports are relatively unimportant activities conducted solely for entertainment. Politics are the very foundation of society. Where are the similarities?
