December, 1998, Clinton wasted 444 cruise missiles on Iraq--to delay Impeachment.
Our congressman called me that night--he and others were prepared to protest if Clinton delayed one more day.
For Clinton, Iraq was a distraction from his personal scandal.
For Bush, Iraq is indeed part of the Axis of Evil--and will be turned inside out.
Yet Clinton was the Rhodes Scholar, and Newsweek's Jonathan Alter just questioned Bush's I.Q.
Bush lacked "gravitas".
(Yet it was Clinton cracking wise to Letterman about "just blowing" with friends.)
Bush is leading--the world.
And will make history.
(Clinton was in the pantry with a bimbo, hiding from history.)
The Senate's pet dwarf is going to fall off his booster chair.
The Wicked Witch of Chappaqua will me-elt.
Let's roll.
George Bush. A hick, a country boy, dumb as an ox.
Yeah, like the character SHERIFF TAYLOR played by ANDY GRIFFITH. Slow talking, straight-forward, Honest.
Slow and easy for city-slickers to fool. At least they thought so. Until they ended up in jail.
Sheriff Taylor, didn't get mad and yell, didn't go around spouting everything to the town. If you made him mad or broke the law, you never knew what happened until it hit you.
I think of Clinton, I think of Daschle, I think of Barney Fife. I think of most politicians, I see people who are clever (like a thief is clever) and whose EGO must be fed.
I think of George Bush, I think of Sheriff Taylor. Remember, as anyone experienced with handling people will tell you, it's the quiet ones they have to be concerned with.
Because the quiet ones prepare, and then execute. They don't give away their next move. And they have the power of BELIEVING what they are doing is morally and legally RIGHT. Amazing the strength that belief gives you.
