Smart enough to know better. Too stupid to stop myself.

A little goes a long way.
Before the war in Iraq the American People were repeatedly told about the WMD problem. They had em. Lots of em. And even those who said "but wait, they haven't found any, maybe they don't" generally, once you start the rumors and paranoia, even the most intelligent person can lose perspective. My mother and I argued right before the war that this could be a big mistake. "But if in the end we find the weapons" my mother said, "it will all be for a good reason."
So Bush and Tom Ridge raise the terror alert over the weekend to scare everyone. Then they reveal that the intelligence leading to this was THREE YEARS OLD. Trying to undo any upswing the Democratic Convention may have had. Amazing.
The Politics of FEAR.

Shove this, fuck that.
So can anyone please explain this to me:
Teresa Heinz Kerry tells an annoying reporter to "shove it" and it's top of the news for the day.
The VICE FUCKING PRESIDENT tells someone in the senate "go fuck yourself" and it wasn't the lead story that day.
Is it because Dick has a dick? Is it because Teresa has an accent? Discuss.
