you want to insult me
1) Saying that you've got "temerity" is hardly an insult. But be insulted if you want to. (My 6th grade teacher, a nun, told me that I had "temerity.")
2) BTW, you insulted Rove, so we're to understand that you can dish out insults, but you can't take them.
3) Rove has "a pair" as you "gentlemen" like to put it. That's clear. He took almost as much public insult as Dick Cheney, but he hasn't let it get to him. The Democrats tried to take him down legally. He's still standing. And I'm telling you that you can disagree with him, call him a RINO-- and be right about it. But it's laughable for you to call him a "wuss."

But I forgot, name-calling is an acceptable substitute for substantive commentary on the Internet these days-- even at FR.

I want to side-comment on your snark: "But I forgot, name-calling is an acceptable substitute for substantive commentary on the Internet these days-- even at FR."

POLITE DISCUSSION, or rather the insistence that only it is valid, is a major factor in allowing us to have a Clinton, and then an Obama.

And further ...

TODAY, WE ARE AT WAR FOR OUR VERY LIVES AND POSSESSIONS. Few have the patience, or should have, for polite discussions.
