The media wing of the Democratic Party is also bloated carrion. Kerry and Edwards can do or say anything and count on the media to filter out the harmful and sweep it under the rug. If this deal had been reversed, the storm in the press would have forced Bush to resign. That's for discussion because Bush wouldn't do it. He is decent.
I've listened to both Cheney's talk of their daughters even in this context. They have never expressed anything but pride in either of their offspring.
It's a waste of time being indignant about the lack of civility on the left...the entire left...including the likes of Rather, Koppel etc. About all that can be done with them is to ignore them. I can hope that Kerry and Edwards lack of decency helps close the book on them in a few close states. It will be nice if they can slither back to oblivion. The problem is they could just win. So perhaps it needs to be enough simply to know they aren't decent people.
excellent comments steve. Thanks!
