I dislike folks who use attacks on folks’ physical appearance in lieu of their positions. Thus I dislike references to “haughty, French-looking Kerry” or “Monkey-Boy Bush.” Or, for that matter, as much as I dislike the guy, I dislike more folks who natter on about Michael Moore being a “slovenly fatso.” Really. <\/p>\n
