Completely ignoring the politics of the matter, assigning no blame to
anyone, without addressing the merits, I'm glad this fellow got his
chance and spoke his mind. I have such a long list of politicians, those
feckless, preening, false, disingenuous and dissembling creatures, of most
of whom I don't believe that one word that comes out of their mouths is
their own thoughts rather being spoken as if from a stage to their
carefully focused-group audience, that I'd like to say the same thing to,
on both sides of the "aisle", that I couldn't begin to count them and when
I was through with those there are hundreds more I would like to dig out
of their graves and tell them, also.

You'd think a "tough guy" like the Vice-President could just shrug it off,
especially coming in an area that he could have expected hard feelings.
And his people should certainly have considered that if this got out it
would look bad and they should have expressed sympathy (even if they
didn't mean it) for the poor homeowners' plight, offered help and
condolences, and come out making the best of it they could. But, no,
it's ham-fisted, blundering, towering ego time and time again and they
just can't control themselves.

They are just so damned used to getting their way it makes me sick.

For those that usually see me react mildly to most topics you have now
seen one topic (nazis and fascists and people that will force you to live
the way they say is the other) that really gets me to go off.
