Apologies, One and All

I think it would be refreshing if someone actually had the balls to either stand up and support someone who says something contraversial (see: the catholic priest spouting off about Hillary's sense of white entitlement to the Democratic nomination) or at the very least, not publicly denouncing said contraversey. As in, "I didn't say it, so why the hell are you bothering me about it? Talk to the priest." Instead, we get the standard, coddling response, obviously penned by Obama's campaign staffers, distancing himself from the priest.

But unfortunately (for me anyway) today's candidates are just a collection of wimpy saps who don't say what they really think, but just go along with the standard, safe road in order to get elected.

I wonder how far Harry Truman would get in today's slow pitch league of politics, before the media fed him to the dogs. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't even get nominated, let alone elected.

Oh well. I guess I'll just have to stay on my steady diet of bland, white bread politics.
