Perusing the news this morning I was trying to think of something that I cared even less about than the recent "coming out" of former George W. Bush aide Ken Mehlman. I searched and searched for something I thought was more insignificant to no avail. Many say that Mehlman's involvement in Bush's re-election campaign in 2004 (involvement is a soft word for it, he ran the re-election campaign) shows that he is a hypocrite.
Here's why I don't completely buy the hypocrite argument (I can be swayed on this one). To begin with, it's politics; nearly everybody is a hypocrite. His job was to get Bush elected, which he did. If that means having Bush condemn gay marriage, then so be it. Who knows, Mehlman may have possibly argued with W. over the issue. Unless someone is their own employer, very rarely do employees agree with every thing that their boss/company does. Mehlman could have seen other facets of Bush's agenda as more important than gay marriage. Or he could be a total hypocrite, I simply don't know.
