Yes, I communicated that you don't get it.

You asserted, for instance, that Bill Clinton was not accepted because he hailed from Arkansas.

Does it get more ridiculous than that?

I think not.

Oh, that explains it. You misunderstood me.

I don't mean to say that Bill Clinton was not accepted because he hailed from Arkansas. I would say that Bill Clinton was not welcomed into the Washington insider culture because he was not part of it. It's not so much a matter of where he's from, but of where he isn't from, culturally speaking...and that idea isn't original with me.

Personally, I consder Bill Clinton the Tonya Harding of the US presidency...and while I may have coined the phrase, that sentiment isn't original with me either.

But enough about me. Give me your take on things and broaden my horizons, if you would.

That's pretty funny.

Well, I think GWB is more Midland than Kennebunkport, though there's no denying parentage and education paved the way for his ascension to the presidency.

I have libertarian sympathies in some ways and think they're tolerated here more than those self-described libertarians give credit, so pardon my early morning umbrage at what I took to be a bit of a whine and the tossing off of the term "Bushbots". A term I don't care for.
