    Would You Give Bill Clinton Such Powers?

    That’s the question I ask Republicans whenever they start trying to tell me that Bush needs this kind of authority to ‘fight the terrorists.’ The look of revelation on their faces is priceless. It suddenly occurs to them that just as they know St. Bush in his righteous cause would NEVER abuse such a power they also know antichrist Clinton would have destroyed America with such authority.

    They seem to suddenly remember why ‘Checks and Balances’ exist.
