[Alia]

I'm busy repeating the word and meaning of the word to myself; it's a good one to have in one lexicon, BTS.

However, I must quibble with you in a wee way: The Clintons =are= indeed Americans, grown and fostered in the fertile soils of dishonor, grown from bad American policy many years earlier. Do they belie and betray and American dream and its founding Values? YES. Are they ernest? No. Do they lead others astray from time-value virtues? YES. Quibble done.

The values of the Clintons are clinquant.
