It's one thing not to answer a question so the media won't beat on you for it, (i.e. Bush now answering the drug question, dodging specifics on Affermative Action)

In certain circles, it's called "tact" or even "manners"...but part of Keyes' schtick is being a little too outspoken for that. His followers love him because he dares to say what no one else will. He also says it in a way no one else will.....

It's because of things like this that I am increasingly convinced Sean Hannity was right.

Well, not exactly. I think part of the reason Sean was annoyed is that Keyes & a couple of others aren't quite as adored around these parts as they used to be. As I understand it, Sean is good friends with Keyes' media director, who is a former FReeper.

Of course, we FReepers tend to be a bit like Keyes in calling them like we see them without regard for tact. ;-)

As for Maya, it appears that currently she'd like to be a political activist like her father, just from the opposite end of the political spectrum. She's right, probably no one would pay her any attention except for who her father is.

On the other hand, why should she complain? So far it's gotten her a lot of media exposure and free tuition to an Ivy League school. Not a bad start for a budding activist not yet out of her teens. Her parents might even be secretly pleased with the free tuition thing...

So all sins are equal in your eyes and no one should ever condemn anyone for anything? If not, then give me your cantegories and mandatory appropriate responses, oh great knower of all things. And please say if all these things apply to parents no matter what age the kid. Since you can read these people's minds and past and know all things they should and should not be doing, please give us a report on what the Mr. & Mrs Keyes should provide to all their children regardless of their behavior and just how long they must do it. Do you put any restrictions, oh wise one, on the children at all -- even once they are adults?

Oh, and if all sins are equal, especially if "everybody's done it" then what do you think of lying? Cheating? And I am sure you did not condemn Clinton for his Monica & Paula escapades did you? You wouldn't be hypocritical about that would you?
