No, The bigger issue is why would someone with the name Charles Weyland use a name like Jonah Silverman?

I’m sorry, but the bigger issue here is….how does a man with these impairments get put in a position in which he handles the arts???

I hear ya Oyate. But maybe I’m just from the “Old School” as they call it. People like that are just, in my mind, off limits.

If that makes me “Old Fashioned”, or backward. So be it. I’ll take the damned label.

I can feel you when you express your regrets for past indiscretion Pat, regret truly is a bitch. But what you say here might come close to identity politics. Your positions towards homosexuals and non-Christians doesn’t seem nearly as charitable, but let’s say the whole movement felt as you do. All any administration needs to do is trot out and endless line of disabled persons and they’ve neutralized all voice of opposition.

As Mary comments above, the guy is the bearer of Obama’s message, he’s (presumably) entered the public political forum of his own free will. In other words, the guy stepped into the ring. He’s fair game.

Oh, please. That is the height of condescension. Jules Crittenden, for one, did not criticize this guy but rather was mocking the media and the administration. This guy just happened to be the bearer of Obama’s message.
