He puzzles over why some Dems were bashing the Big Dog behind the scenes but rallied around him in the public square. We were not thrilled with Clinton and what he did, and some said so in public, and, yes, behind the scenes too - but we also knew his "crime" didn't affect affairs of state (until the rightwing screeching heads, in the press, and the body politic, made it so.) But the giddy Bush believers defend his continuing nonsense, even though they know in their hearts it is disastrous for this country. Just read any random four posts on National Review's childish blog, The Corner, and see their desperate scrambling to defend Bush and the GOP; what sad, unserious empty little suits they are. And the funny thing is, they KNOW it, but, of course, can never ever admit it. Even if it means snarling halfheartedly at their daddy, William F. Buckley. You know, sort of like the time a drunk W. came home surly and shitfaced and demanded to go "mano o mano" against his father, GHWB. Such classy people this crowd is, huh?
