2. I almost (note the "almost") feel sorry for her.

I saw the clips from her victory party on CBS. I rarely watch the news, but it was on. Three thousand bigots there, screaming her name.

She sure was soaking up the adulation, and the flies were on her. I almost (note the "almost&quot feel sorry for her. She does not strike me as sophisticated enough to know how terribly taken advantage of she is. The bigotry is a huge part of her actions, obviously, but so are the presidential candidates and Faux News sermons and adulation from other bigots, and eventually "sweet, sweet bigot money," to quote Dan Savage. She doesn't understand that it isn't about her OR gay marriage.

It's about the Right Wing making money for themselves and dividing the electorate (which is also about making money).
