I had never mentioned it to my mother, age 81, until she volunteered that neither she nor he best friend Kathleen could stand the sight or sound of him. I avoided TV for 6 months after the selection for the same reason, and still feel the same horrified incredulity every time I hear or see him. (Which is NOT the hate the wingers felt for Clinton; I wish no harm on Dubya, just cannot bear the thought of him being president.) Dozens of DUers chimed in that they felt the same when I posted this months ago.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There is some unbearable emptiness in his face, his voice, that rings alarm bells in anyone whose conscience has not been deadened by 24/7 propaganda.
