That’s the problem with Liberals. The only people in their world that are entitled to scrutiny are conservatives. Liberals give their ideological brethren a pass because they believe wanting to do the right thing is equivalent to doing the right thing. In their world emotion trumps action, intentions trump results.
And as far as the Mr. Dionne’s whining for a bygone era where partisanship was less prominent, what he is telling his readers is that he pines for the world he grew up in. He pines for the time when his fellow liberals ruled the world and conservatives knew their place...silent and acquiescing.
Sorry, E.J., but Rush does't owe you anything. If anyone owes this country an apology it is Bill Clinton and his foreign policy team. It was they and not Rush Limbaugh who relegated international terrorism to the back burner.
REALLY? I listen every day and I’ve NEVER heard Rush blame BJ Billy for the attacks - he has said that Clinton’s FAILURE to answer previous attacks emboldened al-Qaeda (which it did) and the Jamie Gorelick “Curtain” between the CIA and FBI caused a FAILURE of intelligence agencies to work in concert (which it did).
But Rush has blamed 19 Islamofacists and their cave-dwelling leader for the attacks.
Of course, BJ BILLY was very quick to blame Rush for Oklahoma City, but, what the hey...it’s BJ and Liberal Dumpkopf columnists LOOOOVE BJ Billy!
