Rudeness is the new American virtue, evidently.
To insinuate a kind, good, and noble woman like Laura Bush to be trailer trash, and a whore is a great example of the new American crudity and shows a lack of good sense and adequate training in grace and manner.
Gentlemen, and gentlewomen, know the difference between teasing, crassness and trampiness, and do not call the first the latter.
Moreover, they know when not to make an issue, especially when it shows their lack of class. And in the doing, know ways that bring the erring soul back to where they ought to be without dragging them through the mud.
But this takes the ability to step back and get out of the pig wallow of in your face rudeness first.
People with grace learn this young. We tend to look up to them. Others seem to live in the trailer park of their minds no matter what the kind instruction they receive.
Well said, Knitting.
