59. something that really pisses me off

nobody ever mentions the hypocrisy.
i keep remembering when bush insisted he was not letting rumsfeld go, then the election came up and rumsfeld was out just like that. at a press conference he was asked why he had lied, and he just shrugged and said it was an election. nobody called him on it. honesty is not even considered a virtue anymore, i guess. hypocrisy, yawn.
