Another great article. Some highlights for discussion:
That last quote is a real haymaker. And anyone who uses the word "anathematized" gets a triple word score in my game of scrabble.
Clinton, Bill *is* an embarrassment to our entire nation. I don't believe the country will want to put Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton in the history books.
Bush certainly has left the GOP in disarray. Too much to say on this to even get started.
Another great article. Some highlights for discussion:
Bill Clinton, with his trembly, red-faced rage, makes John McCain look young. His divisive and destructive daily comportment—this is a former president of the United States—is a civic embarrassment.
- - - - - - - - -But the Clintons are tearing the party apart. It will not be the same after this. It will not be the same after its most famous leader, and probable ultimate victor, treated a proud and accomplished black man who is a U.S. senator as if he were nothing, a mere impediment to their plans.
As for the Republicans, their slow civil war continues. The primary race itself is winnowing down and clarifying: It is John McCain versus Mitt Romney, period. At the same time the conservative journalistic world is convulsed by recrimination and attack. They're throwing each other out of the party. Republicans have become very good at that. David Brooks damns Rush Limbaugh who knocks Bill Kristol who anathematizes whoever is to be anathematized this week.
George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues.
