School-Yard Politics

I've avoided political posts for a little bit here on Fever Head. Mostly because I was so distracted with so many other things going on, that even when some idiocy reared up in the press in the form of state-law signings on church property, or more spin on the war in Iraq, I just couldn't work up enough gumption to post about it because there was so much out there and I didn't have time.

But today I ran across a great story. Not only does it show what is wrong with our current leadership, it also shows how screwed up the entire system is. Why? Because Vice-President Cheney just insulted Howard Dean by referencing his mother. Yes, you read that right. Politics has finally sunk to school-yard mother insults.

Mother insults. Seriously. And these guys got elected?
