Reply #35: I would have found it disrespectful if the man had been elected [View All]

but he wasn't. I'd have found it disrespectful if he, himself, had respected the office, but he didn't. I'd have found it disrespectful had he governed according to the constitution, but he didn't.

I understand where that "one brave soul" is coming from and under more ordinary circumstances, I'd agree. After all, I don't think Nixon got booed on his way onto the chopper.

However, these last 8 terrible years have been far from ordinary. Neither the man nor the office he so thoroughly disgraced were worthy of anything but statements of disgust.

I might have gone with the slightly more polite catcall, though.
