- Go to To The Contrary, Mary Is Not An Issue
Ah, a ponderer
...of political contradictions. And good point about Mary. As to the the verbal battle of the bulge, i will just say this: if it was there to help, it didn't. If it was there for security -- superfluous. If it was just the stretch-marks of the corporate puppet strings -- hmm, I bet that's what that was.

In my view, what is an issue about Mary is not just that she is gay, but that she is highly involved in her father's political administration, and as such, a walking contradiction to the Bush administration's policy. If she were just living her life in obscurity, that woujld be one thing, but she's a player, and another example of Bush's flagrant attitude of "One law for the king and his court and another for the masses".
The scary thing about the way Bush and his administration react is that it's all about them. The military is to settle private vendettas, Cheney and his family are considered taboo in the public debates. Bush's greatest insults to Kerry are that he "flip-flopped" on issues. Intelligent people change opinions as the facts change. Bush is a mass of walking contradictions, yet has no problem with spewing two different ideas in the same sentence without hearing his own internal contradictions.
My question is if he wasn't wired for the third debate, why the stipulation in the rules of "engagement" that no camera shots be taken from behind and what was that obvious bulge under the center of his jacket? Why the prolonged, unexplained pauses in his speech with digressions?
