Well what Obama did wasn't technically illegal or at least couldn't be brought up on charges from past drug use. But what the hell, our drug policy is so confusing that no one knows for sure.

the media reported on both stories, its not like todds dui is front page news, they were just like "oh by the way homeboy got a dui- just thought you should know cause if we didn't cover this shit we'd probably get yelled at"

And really, does anyone care?

the dui charge isn't going to turn anyone's vote honestly... just look at Ted Kennedy.

If Todd Palin got a DUI once and it has not been a recurring thing I don't see where it makes a rats ass. The difference where the press is concerned is the fact that Obama came out and confessed it before the press could dig it up and try to make something of it. They love to shine their little asses like that. Oh my, look what we found out. The press does it to everyone in the public eye. As I said, a one time DUI - big deal. Let it go.

DUIs: Don't care, especially just ONE. No one was murder. It was only Palin's brother.

One thing for sure, this thread can't be used against us as being attacking. See we do have good sense and know right from wrong, and relevent from irrelevent.

And this thread: total irrelevance.

Shadow, I was amused nonetheless. Just want to make sure we keep things fair and balanced.

Alright, alright. Don't worry I get it. But I just think people's past that have no relevance to present day isn't necessary to bring up.

DP - why were you amused? Was it the fact that there wasn't in instant attack feeding by the other side of the scale? Or was it just the media sillyness?

RVD I was amused that the thread started and ended so peacefully and rational. Very unusual for this site.

Wow. It did. Congratulations to all of us.

DP - don't you know it. Couldn't agree with you more.

Really I'm still amazed by it.

"Kumbaya".

Well people, we showed that at least 5 of us have good sense, and are able to show it at times.

Let's hope we can show it more often.
