Okay so Moore, if he does a film about Katrina, will - for example - surely point up the number of jobs filled as political thank-yous. And of course the truth is that if a Democrat were in the White House, things probably wouldn't be any different.
But instead of attacking Moore with such incisive rhetoric as "fat fuck", how about thinking for just a second? If you aren't in line for one of these appointments, whatever the consequences of putting unqualified people into important positions, you pay the price and get nothing back in return. Opposition to political patronage shouldn't even be a party issue!
The point is that somehow over the last 20 or 30 years we have all been duped into believing that everything done in the name of our party must be defended at all costs and everything from the other side must automatically be attacked. That is bullsh*t which works in favor of no-one except politicos who are incompetent or venal. We don't strengthen our parties - and certainly not our country - by pretending problems don't exist, but by fixing them.
