re: #14 Buck

No lie, I specifically said “like”. Each and every time in my post I include the word like. I just don’t think it excuses the statement.

You can not think it excuses the statement, but it doesn’t mean that anyone is saying that Palin actually needs to be kicked.

I mean, if you take the analogy: Politics is like mud-wrestling; even winners get dirty— do you think that means that politicians literally mud-wrestle, or literally get dirty?

No, because it’s a goddamn analogy. As this is.
