wimped

Okay, I'm a wimp.

I saw two sites that have a picture of Rick Santorum conceding. In both, some girl, apparently his daughter, is crying. Both sites say how funny the picture is. One says how ugly the girl is. The other said how ugly the whole family is.

Not even Rick Santorum deserves that kind of treatment. He may be an arrogant bigot, but not even that means that he deserves to have his family denigrated.

I know, he'll probably never see those blogs. And he'll certainly never seen this. But still --

I'm sorry it happened.

Call me a wimp, but I feel badly for him. Not because he lost. But because fools slimed his family, and thought it funny.

I don't necessarily feel bad for Santorum, but I do feel bad for his kids. The kids should be left out of whatever vitriol people feel for the man. Nonetheless, I do not think you are a wimp for feeling the way you do.
