I have seen the US election and political scene very closely but from a very far distance from the US.
I concede that my knowledge is based on interaction, media and TV, international as also of the US.
What surprises me is that in the US one seems to have no hold barred in doing down a person including smashing him/ her with private issues that have no relevance to the issue at hand.
Take the US elections, interviews and even now this Cheney interview.
Cheney, Bush, Obama, Clinton, Kerry, you name them and they are as good as being stonewashed and hung without any relevance to the issue.
What has Cheney's lesbian daughter got to do with Iraq? Yes, what?
Cheney may be the biggest ass, but his daughter's sexuality is of no importance to Iraq nor has she shown any interest in some Iraqi woman that there could even be a the remotest connection. And even if there were, it surely had no effect in the policy making of the US.
