"I'm sure any romantic notions she may have had about the Middle East, its culture, and its peoples have now been thoroughly dispelled."

That was my thought too.

Her latest press release is very strongly worded.

I've heard it said that a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged by reality.

LOL. I always have liked that saying although the first time it heard it the "by reality" part was left off (implied, I guess).

Yes, there is nothing like a sharp encounter with real human nature to make the scales of self delusion and wishful thinking drop from your eyes.

My dad (quoting someone, I'm sure) said that a liberal is a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet and a conservative is a liberal who hasn't been arrested yet.
