[Bahbah]

My goodness, his name should be Michael Snidely.

And by the way, fella, you were wrong about Viet Nam.

"But no amount of eloquence can overcome the bald contrast between that rhetoric and how his own family lives. His daughters are over 21, and he can't control them, but that doesn't let them off the hook. They are now independent moral actors, and their situation requires that they either publicly oppose their father's war or do something to support it. Is it unfair to expect Jenna and Barbara to shape their lives around their father's folly? Of course it's unfair. If this is war, then unfairness comes with the territory."

I don't even understand what point he is trying to make here.

Amy offered Jimmy Carter advice on nuclear weapons control.....

Chelsea was concerned that we wouldn't be able to afford rebuilding the World Trade Center 'with those Bush tax cuts'....

Karenna Gore is beneath commenting upon....

[Cecily]

He wants them to take a stand publicly for or against the war, even though to my knowledge no libbie ever demanded such a thing of the adult Chelsea regarding her father's military actions in Kosovo.

[3AngelaD]

Oh, geez. Not the snarling limp wrist again.

[ozzymandus]

I don't want to read anything by kinsley. From the title, I thought the article might be about old man kennedy and his criminal behavior, and how all his sons are now dead or hopeless bums.
As for kinsley, the less said the better.

[Old North State]

Contrast this venom spit at the his children with President Bush asking,"How's your boy doing?" to the new Senator Psycho from VA who wanted to punch him for the kind words.

[Polyxene]

Michael Kinsley channeling Maureen Dowd. I thought only she could write such vitriol about the Bush family. What makes these RAT/lib/socialists so vile?

[fschmieg]

Chelsea Clinton's resume: After partying through her Rhodes Scholarship in England, she returned to a stint at the McKinsey group (hires kids to be "consultants" to corporations, whatever that means) and now will be employed at a hedge fund run by one of her mother's campaign contributors. Wow, am I impressed!!

[altura]

b?

Should I take offense?

[altura]

Amen to all you said.

[altura]

They just won't go away, will they?

[altura]

Sorry. I really shouldn't have given this demented girly man the publicity, but I just wanted someone to scream at him besides me.

It's better not to scream alone.

[altura]

I don't know what makes liberals so vile and mean.

Did you hear that old man go off on Rush yesterday? He was a meanie. Glad I wasn't close to his cane!

[altura]

Chelsea has been an inspiration to us all!

[3AngelaD]

I was listening to that yesterday in the car and nearly died laughing. I could just picture that nasty ol' piece of work who went so ballistic from having had to wait 75 years for his 15 seconds of fame that all he could do was sputter. Where was the guy who was supposed to screen calls?

[Terpin]

"So it would appear that George W. Bush's daughters are not Amy Carter or Chelsea Clinton or Karenna Gore."

He's right. The Bush twins are good-looking.
