He rips into jokes about President Bush's intellect as "another liberal snig that annoys me a lot these days," adding, "The fact has to be faced: the intellectual candlepower of this administration is a great deal brighter than the Clinton administration . . . [and] the level of professionalism is very much higher." "My two cents' worth--and I think it is the two cents' worth of everybody who worked for the Clinton Administration health care reform effort of 1993-1994--is that Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life. Heading up health-care reform was the only major administrative job she has ever tried to do. And she was a complete flop at it. She had neither the grasp of policy substance, the managerial skills, nor the political smarts to do the job she was then given. And she wasn't smart enough to realize that she was in over her head and had to get out of the Health Care Czar role quickly.... there is no reason to think that she would be anything but an abysmal president" J. Bradford DeLong

TRIES TO GET QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE. . . AGAIN

The rapist did say essentially that. He thinks he's oh so clever... I mean, how obvious (and shameless) can the clintons get? The Carol Moseley Braun non sequitur was obviously intended to segue to that other ethical and intellectual lightweight, the zipper-hoisted clinton spinoff... It appears to me that, now that the clintons believe they have sufficiently mitigated their Bush greatness vs. clinton fecklessness problem (via Richard Clarke via their personal agitprop-and-money-laundering machine, Simon & Schuster), they have begun to strong-arm Kerry to put the missus on the ticket. c-span should have the video of clinton's 'dud' speech on its website.

Buddy web sites quickly exploded in cyberspace. (Socks web sites, too, Socks would add.) Mrs. clinton, a long-time adherent of synergistic exploitation, "authored" an instant book about three groups favored for exploitation by the clintons: dogs, cats and children. "Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids' Letters to the First Pets" was published by the clintons' personal agitprop-and-money-laundering machine, Simon & Schuster. |

ax Cleland is remarkable. What a pity he allowed delusory left-wing flights of fancy and lust for power rob him of his nobility. The irony and the tragedy of Max Cleland overwhelms. Remarkably, Cleland did not become an embittered man when John Kerry's self-inflicted, bacitracin + bandaid-treated, tickets-out-of-Vietnam-and-onto-the-JFK-career-path scratches were deemed worthy of three purple hearts while his three missing limbs were deemed worthy of none; this, even after insult was added to injury when he was dispatched to Texas to lend his phantom limbs to Kerry's self-serving cause. Cleland became embittered, rather, because he actually began to believe the principal neo-neoliberal premise--the neo-neoliberal premise that undergirds all other neo-neoliberal premises--which is, that he was entitled to his Senate seat not because of his abilities but because of his disabilities, not because of his policies but because of our pity...or even our shame. Cleland lost the election because he supported his party's union quid-pro-quo policy at the expense of America's national security. That his patriotism was challenged is a leftist canard. What was challenged was his judgment and ability to protect the people of Georgia and America against the post-9/11 realities. (NOTE: I would add this caveat: Cleland and the Left conflating the two charges, (i.e., equating lack of judgment with lack of patriotism), suggests their own guilty knowledge of same.) If Max Cleland lost nobility last week, John Kerry lost any semblance of decency. Harnessing and fomenting Max Cleland's denial and bitterness, Kerry sought finally to bring to fruition his cynical 1971 scheme that would shamelessly exploit a crippled vet for his own self-aggrandizing purposes. Today, with the following throwaway line, Brit Hume, Kerry's childhood pal, perhaps not so unwittingly revealed the core of Kerry's unfitness--the constancy over time of John Kerry's overweening opportunism. Delivering the Kerry coup de grâce with the uptown refinement and politesse we've come to expect from him, Hume slyly observed: "John Kerry gave his 1971 testimony with a [Kennedy-esque] accent I didn't hear when I knew him as a little boy and an accent I haven't heard since."

Hi, and what are you saying here?
...or more to the point - why are you repeating this fact at this time?
I thought Kerry's recent exploitation of cleland had some bearing on my 3/12/2004 comment.
