I haven't posted anyhthing since the weekend, mainly because I'm on travel, not because I lack something to rant about (I mean, jeez, we are talking about ranter central here.) I wanted to rant about Bubba's boring book but that's old news now. I wanted to rant about gas prices but they're starting to edge down a bit so that's no fun. I could rant about another person being beheaded by Al-Qaeda but he was South Korean, not American. I'm sure the French have done something questionable or otherwise deplorable but I haven't had a chance to watch the news to catch up.
Sometimes I hate being on travel because I feel out of touch but I did see a little snippet this morning that set me off. And some of you will think I'm being picky but this is my blog and I'll decide what content goes here. I saw Mancow on Fox try to infer that Teresa Heinz Kerry was really Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. Why did that set me off? Because Ms. Heinz Kerry's appearance has nothing to do with her or her husband's politics, that's why. I will debate you all the live-long day but I'm not going to attack your politics by demeaning your appearance. That's just freakin' stupid and juvenile! And it garners sympathy for your victim. The last thing I want to see is the soccer moms out there feel sorry for poor Ms. Heinz Kerry and her poor husband. If you want to talk about the Kerry's, point out that they are filthy rich and claim to care about 'Everyman'. Talk about the fact that Ms. Heinz Kerry has flip-flopped as much as her candidate husband, John. She switched her party affiliation. He changed his mind about whether or not he threw his medals or someone else's over the White House fence or whether it was medals or ribbons or whether he was proud of his military service or ashamed of it. Those are real issues. Not whether Ms. Heinz Kerry looks like Dustin Hoffman or not.
How do you think that makes Dustin Hoffman feel?
