Politics is dirty, dishonest business and the Republicans wallow in the mud like they were born there. But I think we can all agree they aren't alone. Heck, just look at the crap-slinging fest this board has become. You're not safe from a face-full no matter which way you're headed.

So when did dealing with a nuclear Iran become OK? When it became useful to the White House, I suppose. If Kerry says it again, we'll find out it's an absurdity. Amazing creatures, these spin-meisters, they can rotate in both directions at once.

My question would be, do politicians and their minions acknowledge the compartmentalization? Something is an absurd idea when Kerry says it, but a stroke of brilliance when the very same thing comes from the White House. I mean, it's so blatant on both extremes that they *must* see it, don't you think?

And why in hell have we permitted politics to get like this?

ps...thank gawd we *are* talking with Iran, though...the thought of a military conflict with them makes me want to barf.
