Surely everyone has seen the clip of Bush flipping the bird to the camera by now:

..and surely anyone with any sense of reality knows the religious right and their allies are sanctimonious hypocrites by now.

This statement doesn't make sense. The only ones, supposedly, who would be any more offended by an occasional obscene gesture or bad language than Dems, would be members of the religious right itself, and not their allies. Presumably, such offense might be one of the things that distinguish those allied groups. Unless the "allies" are hypocrites for some other reason, having nothing to do with gestures or language. In which case, still, your statement makes no sense.

Perhaps it would make more sense if you realized that the Democrats are only concerned about such behavior from Dubya and his cronies, and other Republicans. Among the Democrats themselves, most know better than to be caught in such an embarassment. If any of them don't, they would simply be laughed at by their fellow Democrats.

It's people like Dubya, who don't have a clue what they're doing as a rule and then do stupid things like this in addition, that cause the Democrats and the rest of us somewhat intelligent people to shake heads.
