I made the error of watching CNN a couple nights ago and so got this whole story. Rush is an ass, but he made a point on TV that the WaPo decides to keep mum on here. It seems to be a pattern developing that the Dems use fucked up people to do their arguing for them so that many criticisms can be countered with an 'insensitivity' parry. Max Cleland is another example. I had heard that it was true that Fox had gone off his meds for the ad, but we'll never know for sure. Or care. The whole issue is just crap. Here Krauthammer, a paralyzed doctor, clears the air.
In my 25 years in Washington, I have never seen a more loathsome display of demagoguery. Hope is good. False hope is bad. Deliberately, for personal gain, raising false hope in the catastrophically afflicted is despicable.
Pinko-lefty standard modus operandi. But, yes, Krauthammer was right -- even by those debased standards, that was a low point in American politics in the past, oh, 25 years.
This is John Edwards on Monday at a rally in Newton, Iowa: "If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again."
Enter another messiah. Perhaps humans have been creating demigods since time immemorial to fantasize about fixing what, on the surface, seems in dire need of fixing. This reminds me of the perceptions that Jefferson, and countless other Anglo-Americans had towards believing that the American West had true "regenerative" powers. Yes, in the business we call this a "myth," but we don't mean it in a derrogatory way. Myths help all societies order facts so they are understandable. I'll shut up.
