Your disgust is misplaced, since the person you are championing, is a liar and a fraud.Hes is NOT "very ill",he does NOT have a "handicap",and he high jacked a thread for attention;any kind of attention.Going off topic, with his bizarre soap opera,was neither a " brilliant tangent",nor helpful.It was irrelevant, shameless histrionics,and childish beyond belief!
President Bush used " Compassionate Conservative" in his first run for president,that doesn't mean that we who voted for him, need to turn ourselves into dribbling bleeding hearted LIBERALS,who dab our eyes and gush over every sad sack story to come down the pike, true or as in this case, not.
