Nods to equality
Cheney’s two daughters walked out on the stand side by side, the husband of the married daughter wasn’t there. Noting how unusual it was for the husband of the vice president’s daughter not to be present at the proceedings, a friend suggests the husband was excluded in order to avoid making a distinction between the lesbian daughter and the married daughter. Another nod to equality was Bush’s mention of the Koran. What does the Koran have to do with our political and social and moral tradition? Zilch. The Koran’s only idea is submission to God. The only political expression the Koran can have is sharia law, which is, of course, the very tyranny Bush says we have to crusade relentlessly to destroy wherever it exists.
It is insufferable that a man this dumb and incoherent is also this arrogant. Email entry |
