Uncool is uncool, regardless of degree

I'm deliberately stepping on the line of political correctness to make a point.

This is a lighter shade of uncool.

Please note my metaphor is COMPLETELY UNRELATED to skin color.  It's about shades of uncoolness.  Given that when I said Charlie Crist was uncool, there was no comparison to George Hamilton, this might seem deliberately racist in that light - but only to the thin-skinned.  However, the metaphor is only about relative uncoolness.

In this case - slightly less liberal, is still liberal. Not cool.
