They'll actually try and justify making the remarks too. I had this happen before with a certain individual who apparently took offense at someone being called a "bastard". Sure enough, a few posts up the same poster was calling people "hothead rednecks". Hypocrisy? What hypocrisy? If I do it, it's my right, but when you do it, you're being a holier-than-thou, Taliban-wing, prudish nutcase who is giving the entire GOP, the Conservative Movement, the world, and my mother a bad name. Oh, and naturally, today isn't nearly as good as the good old days were.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't think the sky is falling. Do you think I can corner the market on buquas before the Taliban takes this place over, by the way?
That was me. And there is no equivalency in the terms, especially when you and others were so sophomorically gleeful in labeling small children "bastards."
It was the "redneck" term that got under your skin? Am I right?
You're right. It's the Laura-worshippers who've gone hysterical, not the posters who think she showed poor judgment.
The way some are screeching, you'd think that we'd pointed out their idol had feet of clay. (Oops, I guess that's what we've gone and done. Horrors.)
Look y'all, I'm going to say it again: Laura Bush is lovely to look at, and a vast improvement over her predecessor.
But she's not "perfection," as I've seen some of her idolizers ludicrously claim! (Nobody is, and I certainly don't claim to be, so spare the 'holier-than-thou' epithets.) She made a bad mistake in judgment and discretion. And yes, we all do that from time to time -- but then, we all aren't First Lady of the United States. And no, it's not the end of the world.
