i would agree with the above, except bush, o'reilly, ann coulter, and gang are laughable, unserious, immoral, boneheaded, hypocritical and in favour of repeating murderous errors. but that has not in any way tarnished the way they are perceived by the public or affected their popularity.

i am not sure what that means in the larger sense, but it is only us leftists who seem to care about hypocrisy, rationality/logic, consistency, stuff like that. i continue to believe that any sort of sustainable progress has to be based on such things, but i see a catch-22 here....
