Quote of the day
A recent issue of the New Yorker turned out an astonishing 23-page profile on Bill Clinton, written by the magazine's editor David Remnick. The former President sounds off on almost every topic available during the course of the article, but saves his choicest words for the Bush administration, uttering the particularly damning phrase, "I am sick of Karl Rove's bullshit."
Clinton does devote some time to refreshing self-examination, saying that authorizing the war in Iraq "was a mistake, and I would have made it, too." But he delivers a biting critique of Bush's handling of the run-up to the war, saying, "the administration did not shoot straight on the nuclear issue or on Saddam's supposed ties to Al Qaeda prior to 9/11." Clinton's general assessment of his successor is no kinder. "It just makes me mad," he says about the current administration, "I just wish I were there trying to articulate an alternative vision."

Not just "someone", but one of the most brilliant politicians of our time! If only he'd had four more years. . .
Well you would be involved in some way Bill. If you did not help The 1st Bush import cocaine into Mena Arkansas and had the ability to keep your pecker in your pants. On 2nd thought if you did not play along with the Secret Government they would have slaughtered you like they did with President Kennedy. So I don't really blame you Bill, your just like most everyday Americans who refuse to hold the mirror up to their faces and hold themselves accountable to the murder of millions.
Peace.
You tell 'em slick willie!
That article was a great read--I suggest picking it up as it's not online.
Thanks for pointing that out, Zach. This 23 page article is only available in the print edition of The New Yorker.
A couple of teasers:
Clinton on the Kerry campaign: "Like a deer caught in the headlights."
Clinton on the Bush administration: "It just makes me mad...I just wish I were there trying to articulate an alternative vision."
