		<description><![CDATA[Public officials need to hold themselves to a higher standard. It&#039;s really as simple as that. This isn&#039;t the biggest deal in the world, but does show a kind of prejudicial way of thinking that would be unacceptable were the denigrated class, say, women or African-Americans.

		<description><![CDATA[i just love how we can get so outrage over the smallest things. I would be more upset if he said this to the press or sent the email to the press himself. However it was a personal email to his fellow GOP members. 

That&#039;s right we don&#039;t care, it was said/type and now he must pay.... 

Queer,, how many times have we used the word, movies and other items.. use both way in term good and bad... Its time for the LGBT community to grow the F-up 

I&#039;m sure that we all used degrading words and terms when we get mad.. 

STOP MAKING A DAMN MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLE HILL]]></description>
