David Brooks and the deceitful tactics of the Beltway pundit
The only real goal of the Beltway pundit is to depict Washington orthodoxies as popular among "most Americans," even when they are not.

  • CLINTON OR GORE?

    Glenn's update about Clinton's recent swing to the left with her anti-war votes has provoked a discussion about Clinton that intrigues me.

    I have detested Clinton's centrist moves ever since she was elected Senator in 2000. On the other hand, I watched her interview on ABC on Sunday, and she supported one thing that I strongly agree with: public financing of campaigns. Although she and her husband have always gotten their money from the corporate trough, if she puts her money where her mouth is, and gets such a bill passed, it will assist the process of restoring our democracy.

    I still wish Al Gore would run. I have written him countless letters, urging him to run. So far, Clinton has not addressed the global warming crisis, which, by physical evidence, the record ice melt this summer in the Artic, appears to be getting even worse than "An Inconvenient Truth" predicted. Unless she addresses this issue before the primaries, I will not vote for her.
