Kevin in VT,

After supporting Clinton all this time, now you're going to start 
telling us how the President should treat his wife?

You are transparently hypocritical, yet sadly predictable. What a good liberal.

OK, maybe I'm not being civil.

Scott,

The problem is that some of these political comments are so wildly 
untrue or hypocritical that patience wears out and they must be 
refuted in a substantive way.

If a certain "someone" were to voluntarily quit making his or her 
political comments, I'd bet the others on both (all three?) sides 
would stop too. But I don't see that happening.

Here it comes - Who content. Enjoy....

Jeff,

AAAHHHHH! The Who in Branson!? That's worse than The Who winning a Grammy!

No, it wasn't. Very civil of you.
