1. I’m partisan. I’m partisan to myself, and pick on both sides, but I’m partisan in that regard, and right now, more often than not through my *not quite as moralistically pedantically tuned* prism the Dems are the ones behaving in thigh-slapping ways, and no, Jack, it’s a bleeping blog, it’s not a big one, it’s one man’s self-published opinion that you have to want to go read, no one makes you do so, and I have a job (not implying you don’t, not my point) that does not allow me to follow every subtle nuance and twist of a story to it’s bitter end, to then slap up a well thought out, artfully crafted, and perfectly balanced post to satisfy… you. I write for me. And I have a responsibility to get my facts straight, and I’ll change and update when I get the chance or it’s pointed out to me - but opinion is opinion, and the H&I post is more about saying “Hey lookit this” than it is ponderous ponderings.

2. I’m not going to go searching my archives, because this is a tempest in your teapot, but generally when I have mentioned this tv show dust-up I have done so with some reference (and never positive) to the pulling of the Reagan biopic, with a “sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander” flavor. If you don’t think there is enough nuanced and balanced sensitivity, with mordant navel gazing… well, sorry, Jack. Just wasn’t in that mood for that post. You want navel gazing, read the Blood Brothers review.

3. Do I find it disturbing that seated politicians are threatening a broadcast license for nakedly political purposes? Yes. I didn’t see these guys getting all over Moore and Farenheit 911, did I?

4. Sorry you didn’t like the post Jack. I just can’t meet your journalistic standards. And no, I frankly don’t intend to.
