Huh, it seems that you are the one who wants to use the hyperbole and whining.
Gotta show that somehow Bush directing his way through the minefield called American politics is on par with Clinton raping Juanita Brodderick.
Shameless, IMO.
Dane, having read your posts here at FR for several years, I can safely say that you wouldn't know shame if it bit you squarely in the ass. So don't insult my intelligence by pretending otherwise. Face it, you're defending the indefensible, so I do understand that it severely limits the rhetorical approaches you can take. But you can do better than acting completely out of character.
