Speaking of Politics...
This is not going to turn into a political blog, I promise. But I found this article refreshing, all things considered:
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/26/mccain-repudiates-hussein-obama-re...
A conservative radio talk show host who helped introduce Senator John McCain before a rally here Tuesday used Senator Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, three times, while disparaging him, prompting Mr. McCain to apologize and repudiate the comments afterward.
...
“It’s my understanding that before I came in here a person who was on the program before I spoke made some disparaging remarks about my two colleagues in the Senate, Senator Obama and Senator Clinton,” he said. “I have repeatedly stated my respect for Senator Obama and Senator Clinton, that I will treat them with respect. I will call them ‘Senator.’ We will have a respectful debate, as I have said on hundreds of occasions. I regret any comments that may have been made about these two individuals who are honorable Americans.”
I don't know if that's just more political maneuvering, but I like it. I like it a whole lot better than "My worthy opponent screwed a dead mule in the town square, and I have the pictures to prove it." |
