Cheney has been "disinvited" by the family because of criticism of Mondale by the Republicans yesterday" according to a local newscast I heard.
To: goodnesswins
The way I heard it was that the stupid (my word) Republicans challenged the democrats yesterday to five debates in five days before the mourning period for Sen. Wellstone ended.
The Republicans may have been upset at all the free press that Mondale was getting while he made up his mind as to whether or not to run for U.S. Senator.
My guess is that the Republicans were just stupid, that is, unable to learn from the lessons of history.

Could be because Wellstone's campaign manager said, "Honor Paul and vote straight democrat" in a news clip. This was Sunday, two days after the crash.

- ...not to mention Lieberman et al. doing their best to jack up democrat turnout "to honor Wellstone."
-
- Notwithstanding this, the Wellstone family's reasoning suffers from transitive fallacy as well as crass political calculation.
-
- It is more than a little ironic that the so very honorable Wellstone was ultimately done in by not honoring his "2 term" pledge.

That the clinton-McAuliffe-DNC agitprop machine thought it could pass off this shameless, crass political rally as a memorial is just another example of clinton contempt for the people |
- Mindless rhinestone-studded-and-tented kleptocracy
-
- by Mia T
-
-
-
- John Podhoretz recently asked, "Whence comes hillary clinton's reputation for brilliance?" For the answer, he intuitively, rather brilliantly in fact, looked to her anatomy and noted,"This isn't the first time she's shot herself in the foot."
-
-
-
- The above anatomical analysis supports the Podhoretz thesis. Notwithstanding The Pod's erroneous conclusions concerning
hillary clinton's heart and nerve, he basically has it right. Anatomy is destiny... -
- Ian Hunter recently observed that our leaders are shrinking. "From a Churchill (or, for that matter, a Margaret Thatcher) to a Tony Blair; from Eisenhower to Clinton; from Diefenbaker to Joe Clark; from Trudeau to Chretien -- we seem destined to be governed by pygmies."
-
- The pols understand their anatomical limitations well; they attempt to mitigate them with veneer. And so we suffer mindless alpha-beta-beelzebubba grotesquerie. . .
-
-
-
- and rhinestone-studded-and-tented kleptocracy.
-
-
-
- With all the media genuflecting before the press-conference podium of bill clinton, it bears remarking yet again that the clinton intellect (an oxymoron even more jarring than AlGoreRhythm and meant to encompass the cognitive ability of both clintons) is remarkable only for its utter ordinariness, its lack of creative spark, its lack of analytic precision, its lack of depth.
-
- The clintons' fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted to understand that the demagogic process in this fiberoptic age isn't about counting spun heads; it's about not discounting circumambient brains.
-
- Politicos and reporters are not rocket scientists . . .
- Professions tend to be self-selected, intellectually homogeneous subgroups of Homo sapiens. Great intellects (especially these days) do not generally gravitate towards careers in the media or politics. Mediocre, power-obsessed types with poor self-images do.
-
- Thus, clinton mediocrity goes undetected primarily because of media mediocrity. ("Mediocrity" and "media" don't come from the same Latin root (medius) for no reason.) Insofar as the clintons are concerned, the media confuse form with substance, smoothness with coherence, data-spewing with ratiocination, pre-programmed recitation with real-time analysis, an idiosyncratic degeneracy with creativity.
- Jimmy Breslin agrees. In Hillary Is the 'Me-First' Lady, Breslin laments:
- "At the end of all these years and years that are being celebrated this week, the national press of America consists of people with dried minds and weak backbones and the pack of them can't utter a new phrase for the language or show the least bit of anger at a business or profession or trade or whatever this business is that is dying of mediocrity."
-
- Listen carefully to the clintons. You will hear a shallow parody of the class president. Not only do they say nothing; they say nothing with superfluous ineloquence. Their speeches are sophomoric, shopworn, shallow, specious. Platitudinous pandering piled atop p.c. cliché
- In seven years, they have, collectively, uttered not one memorable word save, "It was a vast right-wing conspiracy," "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky,"and, "It all depends on what the meaning of 'is' is."
-
- Even the clintons' attempts at alliteration fall flat. Compare Agnew's (Safire's) "nattering nabobs of negativism" with clinton's "preachers of pessimism," an impotent, one-dimensional, plagiaristic echo (its apt self-descriptiveness notwithstanding).
-
- Before they destroy their backs along with their reputations, media gentry genuflecting at the altar of the clinton brain should consider Edith Efron's, Can the President Think?
- A wasted brain is a terrible thing.

hillary's head revisited:
- hillary clinton's brain (such as it is) II
by Mia T
The smartest woman in the world would relish "the raucous give and take of American democracy, " as Charles Kuralt once put it. hillary clinton, by contrast, subsists on cozy clintonoid interviews of the Colmes kind... In her new book, Political Fictions, Joan Didion indicts the fakery of access journalism practiced by vacant politicos like the clintons, whom she sees as "purveyors of fables of their own making, or worse, fables conceived by political strategists with designs on votes, not news." (More Didion: "No one who ever passed through an American public high school could have watched William Jefferson Clinton running for office in 1992 and failed to recognize the familiar predatory sexuality of the provincial adolescent.")
