I understand that SHE has joined the ranks of the dearly departed. How are we ever going to carry on? SHE was the perfect foil for our complaints against JW. Things just aren't going to be the same. [Sniff!]

I'm sure it will be reported in a press release as a victory SOMEHOW!

Great article, I can't believe it's actually in the WP.

Charles writes for the WP..... a little info on him.... He's been around the horn some....

.....Krauthammer was born in New York City and raised in Montreal. He was educated at McGill University, majoring in political science and economics, Oxford University (Commonwealth Scholar in Politics) and Harvard (M.D. in 1975). He practiced medicine for three years as a resident and then chief resident in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital.

In 1978, he quit medical practice, came to Washington to direct planning in psychiatric research for the Carter administration, and began contributing articles to The New Republic. During the presidential campaign of 1980, he served as a speech writer to Vice President Walter Mondale. He joined The New Republic as a writer and editor in 1980. He also writes essays for Time and the Weekly Standard. In 1997, the Washingtonian magazine named him among the top 50 most influential journalists in the national press corps......

Its open season on capitalism in America. The liberals are salivating their chops at the prospect of skinning Cheney's scalp.
