Since when has age ever stopped them from being as nasty as they usually are? Dole was a soldier, he loves his country, he supported Reagan, he fought against socialist non-sense, he did pretty much everything that good and descent citizens support and anti-American trash like the primitives find disgusting.
Nah, not buying it. These dolts lie about way too many things in public forums, things they really don't believe nor say behind closed doors.
I agree on that, sir, but every theological and social source I've ever consulted seems to agree that hypocrisy sometimes is a virtue; lying about one's true feelings.
Please notice the "sometimes."
I recall getting irked when seeing a photograph of Gerald Ford and other prominent Republicans sitting in the front pews at the funeral of Tipsy O'Neill some years ago. Tipsy O'Neill was a jerk, an asshole, a flaccid flabby decadent and foul alcoholic, a man whose Hate was too much for his body to hold, sordidly corrupt, and a flatulent boryborygmiac.
Tipsy O'Neill was a blot upon democracy.
It's probably true that the former president and all these prominent former aides to the then-gone Reagan administration felt exactly the same way I do, but felt compelled to attend because of their sense of decency.
After all, only God knows the worth of an individual, and perhaps we were all wrong.
So it's best to at least superficially err on the side of charity and compassion.
This is an instance where hypocrisy can be a virtue, and among the primitives on Skins's island, this is an instance about as rare as an 1804 silver dollar.
