Pillory Hillary?

Chelsea Clinton was asked if her mother's credibility was damaged by the way she handled the Monica Lewinsky affair. This suggests that Hillary still has credibility -- having embellished the story about sniper fire in Bosnia.

I remember a morning news interview on a show like NBC's Today Show or ABC's Good Morning America. Hillary pleaded for the public to defer judgment about Bill until all of the evidence was in.

Like OJ Simpson on the prowl for the real killer, Hillary is still waiting for enough evidence to surface. If we don't prejudge Bill, can we still pillory Hillary?

They're all a bunch of guppies.

Tony Blair is no Winston Churchill.
George W. Bush is no Ronald Reagan.
Hillary Clinton is no Margaret Thatcher.
Barach Obama is no Nelson Mandella.

John McCain has a tiny dose of Harry Truman's straight talk style and Ross Perot's military street cred.

They might be whales but they act like guppies.

Clinton says: Obama hates America

Bill Clinton, in a McCarthyite moment, suggested that Obama hates America.

Regardless of your politics, I think we can all agree it comes from an unimpeachable source.

"A Purpose Driven Life"

According to Mitt Romney, A Purpose Driven Life refers to those who do not have faith.

This contradicts the definition used by Rick Warren in his book of the same name.

Political Bias?

After I overcome my bias against Mormons I have to overcome my bias against anyone named Mitt.

Do Maximum Harm

In response to a Yahoo! Answers question, I answered:

MDs use the ethic; Do no harm.

Lawyers, political scientists and tax collectors use the ethic; Do the maximum damage that you can get away with.

A doctor of philosophy, a lover of knowledge, should understand the distinction.

These are the MaxiDams -- those whose function is to cause Maximum Damage.

French Trader Loses 7 Billion in One Year

I'm still conjuring a punchline.

Should I pick on the fact that he's French? Maybe they'll put his statue in front of the Louvre.

Should I point out that he's encroaching on the function of governments? Over here we call that a stimulus package.
