That's exactly what I thought.LOL.
I bet Shakespeare could have pulled it off in PG-rated fashion...
It's not that everyone is cynical, it's just that all media are big business... Rush, Sean, Bill, Ann and, yes, even Jeanne are not paid to be political analysts, pundits, etc. They are paid to be entertainers. That's what sells soap. Even Randi Rhodes gets on some Clear channel stations outside of AAR, because she apparently did well enough on her Palm Beach radio show. Guess she got the "Howard Stern" crowd.
So yes, years before I was born, maybe Jack Parr routinely interviewed poets, captains of industry, labor leaders, statesmen and such in a thought-provoking way - back when things didn't have to fit into 15 sec. soundbites, and one could relax with a cigarette on the air. But, that isnt' today...

"Each to his own opinion. Merry Christmas."
Each to his own. Absolutely! Cheers! I honour your choices in great American writers: Twain and Steinbeck.
(...no other literary work is so profound as MOBY DICK...
by Herman Melville...)
Names Ash Housewares quoted:
""All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all
truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all
the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were
visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled
upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by
his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he
burst his hot heart's shell upon it." -Melville (Moby Dick)
*Exquisite!

How you can compare the two groups and come up with an equals sign with at straight face is amazing.
The one time a Republican actually gets mad enough to answer back in the same vein = the constant evil uncivilized crap from the dems for years now. Right!
A better man than I with the English language for sure.
Excellent article! No one sounds angrier than Jeanne the few minutes I can stomach listening to her on Airbag America. The twisting of reality about who is the big bully here is just amazing.
Graybeard, it's a Juris Doctorate. The thing that you suffer through 3 years of law school (and dozens of insufferable liberal pontificating a** professors) to get.

If you want me to agree that using the "f" word in a public forum such as the U.S. Senate is EVER acceptable, by anyone, particularly a vice president, my answer will always be NO.
I expect BETTER from our Repub leaders than I expect from the Dems..
It wasn't on the senate floor. Leahy approached Cheney outside on the mall to rub his nose in his petty little way. It was just the two of them. And it wasn't "f-- you", it was "go F-- yourself".
Much more effective, and completely appropriate, IMHO. :-)
Cheney was, in that moment, speaking for thousands of us.
It was in the Senate chamber, but the Senate wasn't in session, just a photo session.. still doesn't excuse that language.. I expect better from Repubs..
And it wasn't "f-- you", it was "go F-- yourself".
OH!! That changes EVERYTHING! I stand corrected!
