‘Hey, look, a distraction!’ part II: race and/or sex
Both the so-called right and the left do it as Mr Bush did twice in a row (once was enough) last night.

... race and sex are far more glamourous than cleaning cat crap off the carpet.... not a word about ending the warmongering that has made America the polecat of the world. It's all race and sex.
