    Yes, GHWB, decorum and civility were smashed. As smashed as your drunk-ass trash son and his bloaty, blowsy daughters conking their noggins off barroom floors on three continents.

    As smashed as Laura Bush with a fistful of Oxy.

    As smashed as the face of Dick Cheney's hunting buddy.

    As smashed as drunk-dialing Bill O'Reilly with the phone in one hand and his falafel in the other.

    We've gotten so low that I am nostalgic for the days when restrained and at least somewhat decorous WASPy plutocrats like yourself ran the Republican party, as opposed to the motley crew of war fetishists, religious zealots and neo-Confederates who now steer the ship with all the civility of a hive of angry bees.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Huffy? Not really. I just don't quite get people's point when they make this argument. So what if it's what other people do -- other people do lots of things, some of them worth doing, some of them stupid. The question is whether it's a good thing to do. I tend to think there's more likelihood of arriving at sensible, intelligent decisions if you behave like sensible, intelligent people instead of yahoos. You may disagree.

    @MissNormaDesmond: I'd like to throw a chair at Joe Lieberman. In fact, I'd like to throw 8,429 chairs at Joe Lieberman. Not because I think it'd change his position (unless there were $20 bills taped to 'em), but rather just because it would be fun.

    @ShanghaiLil: Oh, sure, who wouldn't? But if we're talking about what behavioral standards we want people to conform to while they're in the process of debating legislation, I would go for light over heat where possible. Besides, in any kind of serious debate, losing your temper is a losing strategy -- it gives you less command over your responses, not more.

    @Unsolicited Advice: Eh, his party and its dwindling constituency. They lost the last election by appealing only to the rabid base; instead of figuring that out and addressing it, they seem to think they just need to do that harder. I don't think it's going to serve them.

    You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, you will play golf, and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, "Do not trust the Pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller."
