3. There's no such thing

as a Republican trashing their career, no matter what they do.

And certainly not with something as innocuous as a phone pic.

4. politics in this country suck. i'm fed up with idiotic pseudo-scandals.

so many great reasons to loathe mclame and 98% of everything he stands for and we fixate in this crap?

yes, name-calling and image-trashing and scandal-mongering have always been a staple of politics, but it used to be a sideshow in the context of substantive policy discussion.

nowadays, substantive policy debate is relegated to old youtube clips of a bygone era.

will not be easy to banish. Yeccccch.

7. no big deal, he was only doing what millions of people do at work every day instead of working nt

8. Crashing 5 planes, the Forrestal fire, elevating PALIN haven't trashed it yet, this is nothing.

He laughed it off with BLITZER and actually framed himself as a Common Dude being bored by blowhard politicians (despite his being one of the biggest).
