Why would a reasonable person living in the Bay Area vote for Bush? After listening to this opinion piece by Bill Whalen on KQED today, I still have no friggin' idea. Hey, Bill: if you want to convince people you're not a brainwashed a**hole, try 1) not mouthing every single meaningless and cliched talking point of the Bush campaign ("taking the fight to the enemy" / "the choice is kill or be killed" / "taking the fight overseas" / "Bring our government into the 21st century" / "Bush is genuine, he says what he means and means what he says,") and 2) don't be an a**hole.
Finally, I can't resist pointing out that people who take their political and ethical cues from Karl Rove have no business making fun of Michael Moore's appearance. Moore can be a self-righteous, confrontational schmuck, but he does have a heart, and genuinely wants to make America a better place. Rove, on the other hand... let's just say "ugly is as ugly does."
