I'm assuming I can post articles from the Washington Post as long as I only post an exerpt. Is that correct?

In any case, this article really ticked me off. Here's another quote:

"It's an effective shorthand," said Jeff Shesol, a former Clinton speechwriter who taught a course in presidential rhetoric at Princeton University this year. "It's suggesting that in fact you may have an argument but we've got the people." Shesol admits Clinton speechwriters used the phrase, too. "We're not proud of it, but the American people know our heart was in the right place," he said.

The last line is a real killer, huh? He uses the "no-no" term "American people" to say that they knew that we all knew what was in the hearts of the Clinton administration. Yeah, we knew alright!

Ticks me off too

I remember them telling me how I should feel about the impeachment of the scumbage. "Scumbage" is French for scumbag.

I know- just the gall these people have. They really believe we are that stupid and they really believe Clinton was "Goodness" personified. Makes me want to rip the wallpaper down or take a sledgehammer to my toilet.

The part that bothers me is the suggestion that the Bush administration forms policy (domestic) on the whim of public opinion. Whatever happened to governing according to your principles?
