Oh crap. I want to say it and, in this particular case, she deserves to be called, but I made a vow. Let's just say, she makes me itch. She's a vile, vile creature. Vile. As for what you said about opinion: AMEN!!!<BR/><BR/>ME: I said the same thing to Bee right after I wrote this piece. I'm no fan of McCain, but I wish he'd done a little more with this than just blow it off.<BR/><BR/>Phoebe: I don't know if I'd have been brilliant in the heat of the moment, but it would be nice to think that even under the lights and with cameras clicking one could at least muster enough reaction to say "Hey, I don't think that's appropriate." Oh well. I'm with you, though: I'm working on stocking my gut with better reactions that unite.J.M.

I'm never so quick to come back with brilliance, and I'll bet McCain lay in bed all night with his own hypothetical comebacks.<BR/><BR/>But I guess some of our quickest responses come from deep inside the gut instead of from the brain.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to remember this post for a long time, and work on stocking my gut with responses that unite rather further divide human beings.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Tewks<BR/><BR/>-PhoebeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-38242726782873893102007-11-15T21:18:00.000+01:002007-11-15T21:18:00.000+01:00Would love to see what Jon Stewart would do with t...Would love to see what Jon Stewart would do with this if it weren't for the writers strike.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you in wishing McCain had either played dumb or confronted the woman rather than letting an insult of that proportion essentially go unchallenged.<BR/><BR/>Can you imagine the outrage if someone had used the n-word in that way referring to Obama?

Maybe she gleefully signed up for an interview on the Glenn Beck show, or that nasty O'Reilly. Whatever the case, I find her as repugnant as that vile creature Ann Coulter. <BR/><BR/>Opinion is one thing, but respect and common courtesy should be the standard, not the exception.Sideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563675498159890372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-33974011321121665302007-11-15T18:13:00.000+01:002007-11-15T18:13:00.000+01:00Excellent post.
