Karl Rove is a genius

The manufactured anger and the flimsy hypocrisy of people criticising Kerry for mentioning the sexual orientation of Dick Cheney's daughter is astonishing. I can't figure out why that is an issue. She wasn't outed. Everyone knew she was lesbian. She has been mentioned before in the debates. So what is the big deal? Lets assume that Kerry had ulterior motives and was trying to drive a wedge among Bush's supporters who are opposed to homosexuality. They won't vote for Kerry anway. If they were opposed to Bush just for that reason, they'd simply hold their nose and vote for him rather than vote for Kerry. So Kerry had absolutely no reason whatsoever to harbor bad intentions in mentioning the VP's daughter. You can't help but admire the guys who advise Bush. They divert attention to inane topics that don't matter zilch to stop the public from focusing on the main issues. Top of the line media strategy. These guys are simply brilliant! They know how to win!
