I remember when buckley was a conservative. He has been carrying water for the socialists for years.

"Mr. Clarke summoned up the terrorist bound for Los Angeles to bomb the airport, but apprehended by authorities owing, Clarke suggested, to the kind of priority given, in the late '90s, to potential terrorist activity."

This is patently false. The New Year's Eve bomber, caught arriving by ferry in Port Angeles, Washington, was identified by an alert grandmotherly immigration worker who exercised racial profiling.

"He just looked hinky to me," said the woman who stopped the attack.

Tell me that Clarke had something to do with the intuitions of a 60-something logger's wife in Port Angeles, and I'll sell you some swamp land.

Clarke deserves to be nominated for an Academy Award as best actor.

He doesn't deserve to win, though...Dean wins, hands down.

Buckley wasted a lot of words telling us that the Dem strategy is to ''Blame Bush''--something we already knew.

I am on President Bush's side.
