You know, there has been lots of posting where people say "you could make a list like this for anyone, therefore it's not that valid".
Hell, I said that myself. And that's all very nice, and non-judgmental. And not like us at all. But, for EasyTiger's sake, let's take a different tact.
Here is a small subset of the above list. In a perfect world, I would like to see the source of each statement. But lacking that, I will say that these don't seem like a stretch to me.
I would suggest that each of these is completely inexcusable, for anyone of any party. Some, of course are a matter of degree. I'm not suggesting that taking vacation is bad. Taking all of these
together makes them all worse.
