George H. W. Bush cries! Mary Cheney has a baby!

DU pretends like these stories matter.

It's kind of sad when you think about it, considering what we could be focusing on.

1. Anything that points out disingenuous behavior, double standards, or hypocrisy MUST be pointed out.

Mary openly supported folks who are anti-gay.

Yet Dick is reportedly happy to soon be a grandfather.

Yet Mary is, amongst other things, unmarried.

This whole situation is discrediting these folks on any number of issues.

You bet it should be mentioned. Politicians are little different from Hollywood celebrities or sports heroes.

2. Yes, and nobody should watch TV either! Or go to a ball game! Or host barbecues!

CONSIDER what we could be focusing on!!!1111!11!

4. Well presumably we could do all those things

But DU is a political discussion board, isn't it? Don't we want to talk about stuff that matters? Or why are we here?

7. Apparently to talk about only what a few of you think is

permissable.

Just what this place needs, another boss.

8. Isn't it very democratic to let the people decide why they're here by posting

and responding as they see fit?

[bryant69]

9. Yes it is - just as it's democratic to respond to their posts by

pointing out that they are wasting time on trivialities.

10. Sure. But I'm trying to answer your question about why we're here.

I think the messages people post would indicate to you why WE are here.

3. Given the current sad state of our country, we need the

distraction and a bit of a laugh.

5. its that glass house's thingy

6. Oh dear - we should post messages on an online board about things that matter - because

those posts will do......what?

11. It's the hypocrisy stupid

...and I mean "stupid" in the general sense...not directed at the OP.:)
