Didn't read the article. The title was enough to warrant a gut shot. In years past, no one would have posted this trash on FR and if they did, it would have been pulled. Juvenile toilet crap from Hollyweird.
I agree that FR is not what it used to be. Your post is but one example.
Free Republic is a lot like TV, you can ignore the threads (like channels) that don't interest you.
You obviously missed all of the trash (wonderful wonderful trash) raked up and posted by Socks C from under the bed at the Whitehouse.
Halcyon days!
