You may be seeing the situation from a rational viewpoint in which you would infer that anyone with any sense of reality, would be embarrassed standing there.

No harm in that. We just have to remember that Conservatives/Republicans, especially today's crop, do not seem to feel shame. I used to think that way until I realized that Republicans/conservatives seem to operate on a different level than the average person. They have an ideology that supersedes everything. They are like religious fundamentalists (jihadists, and crusaders) who are all in on their quest for power.

You would be embarrassed standing there. I would be embarrassed standing there. I do not think that anyone who was standing there was embarrassed.
