Lepus,

You simply don't get it. In your eyes, a tendency to mispronounce words (or more specifically to speak in one's regional dialect on occasion) is far more damning than legitimate character flaws such as those exhibited by Clinton. Sorry but that line of thinking is just not rational. A good example of this is your use of the term cretin. It is as innaccurate and nonapplicable as your overall logic. Dwelling on wordsmithing rather than performance leads to the very dilemma that I discussed above.

As for Amos, I was simply arguing (perhaps a bit overzealously) that there is a kernel of accuracy in my skits, but that to exagerate and dwell upon such minor things is simply counterproductive in a time such as this. In that regard, I felt justified in lumping you in with the others for the sake of discussion.
