Bill Clinton, the former president, said yesterday that terror has existed in America for hundreds of years and the nation is "paying a price today" for its past of slavery and for looking "the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed."

If someplace else goes up, we'll be fighting two wars on a friggin' shoestring.
Why is it....that there seems to not be a single hearbeat inside the beltway that has the slightest clue as to the actual form of government that this nation was founded on ?
(not, what it has become....but what it was at one time and should be)
but Rush is leading off with this, in high Limbaugh-dudgeon.
With Rush's voice beaming this out to the world, we probably don't need to email anybody else.

Forgive me if I riff on this a bit more, but this statement is quite revealing, a moment of truth, so to speak. The Washington Times (not surprisingly) reporter caught it and had the good sense to quote it verbatim. It tells us much about the audience and about the speaker.
This audience, I believe, thinks that anyone who mentions the phrase 'nature of truth' is expressing something profound, and the speaker, a clever trickster, is happy to feed such shallowness (although, for all we know, he may also think that this is a profound thought.) These are of course the same people who repeat ad nauseam how brilliant and intelligent the Krintongs are, the same people who consider Woody Allen an intellectual, the Renaissance Weekenders, the discreetly charming bourgeoisie. (I'm generalizing beyond the actual audience at the event, because I think that the characterization applies well to the entire Krintong fan club.) Yeah, he is their Chauncey Gardiner (hero of Jerzy Kosinski novel 'Being There'.)
My reaction each time I see or hear of him, is of utter revulsion. It is unchanged from my initial reaction in 1991.
The presstitutes (Chris Matthews, "As much as I dislike Clinton, you've got to admit the guy is something. He's tall, good-looking, and has all his hair. He bats his baby blues at you and then flirts with your wife. He can charm anyone, and is easily the most brilliant man we've had in the office." 11/01/01, Imus Show) make much ado over Clinton's supposed eloquence.
Yet, everytime I hear him, his insincerity and untruths are crystal clear.
How many more years do we have to endure this disgusting behavior? No, don't answer that.
