Ed we all have our biases you and me both  My concern about the article is that it needs to cover a lot of bases  Broadly speaking to be fair to all parties concerned lets acknowledge that a damaging quotations are a part and parcel of partisan politics b there is debate about whether and when such quotations are legitimate because c some can be taken out of context while d different politicians exhibit different speaking styles and such styles can be the source of parody and such parodies are often based on at least some degree of truth and e sometimes politicians really are dumbasses  Taken in a broader context that is how artististic political characaturists and comic impressionists make their living  Did Carter really smile broadly and instantly  Did Ronald Reagan really say Well at the beginning of sentences  Where would we be without Dana Carvey and Rich Little  Obviously this is an issue that both you and I feel strongly about  Perhaps our biases just clash  Maybe we need other people to delve into the articles and try to write something from a perspective that is neither yours nor mine
