Invoking him is what I do here :-) Certainly, the Clintons do not have the market cornered when it comes to dirty "Pool"itics. I am amused, however, that your veiled rebuttal regarding GWB and BHO is nearly the same as the talking points on this subject put out by the Clinton campaign last week. I'm afraid I disagree with you regarding the Bush administration. Mr. Bush was - and is - an underachieving, over-matched, two-dimensional ideologue who is surrounded by, and completely enmeshed within, a cadre of dangerous, radical, and thoroughly disingenuous political machinators not seen around here since the days of the Teapot Dome. Mrs. Clinton "pragmatic?" If you mean hard-boiled and/or sober, I suppose I concur. She may also be a fine human being. I just don't trust her, nor can I personally sanction her tactics and strategies, dreams notwithstanding. Hi Bright Strangely/Strangely Bright;
