You assumed I was trying to dismiss anything. I couldn't care less what the dubya-loving, enlightened-creationism, red-staters think of the others parts of the US that provide for the majority of the GDP, have the majority of highschool & college graduates and pay the largest percentage of income taxes.Yeah... right... And Clinton never had sex with Monica... he was too busy lying to the public to do stuff like that. Right?Wow, so you need to dig back that far to come up with anything relevant? I'm quite sure that Clinton did have sex with Monica. And i really don't care.
Of course you don't because you don't understand the fact that the Lewinsky scandal was just one more indicator of the walking corpse that is Bill Clinton's character. And how that utter lack of character predestined him to be exactly what he was - the worst president in living memory. I'm from Arkansas, no surprise did I behold.
He wasn't dragging the country into multiple uncoordinated, unplanned wars, while leaving it simultaneously completely & utterly unprepared to deal with internal affairs. He also wasn't on vacation for large chunks of his term, fiddling as the gulf coast was obliterated.
Balkans. Somalia. Aspirin factory.Dubya's sins and failings during his 5 years are legion. So were Clinton's. We're heading toward two decades now without a decent president. It shows.
But it may come as a surprise to note that FEMA has responded in about the same way they typically do. Takes 4-5 days for them to get going. Hurricane Andrew is a case in point. And note that the feds can do nothing until asked by the governor which did not come in a timely fashion. Let's not get started on the NO mayor. So we have one pseudo Republican and two Democrats all of whom have hardly made us proud.
The real failing goes farther back. The old local civil defense network was gutted by FEMA several administrations ago and they told us to leave it all to them (they're professionals you see <NOT>). So we left it to them and we have body bags in New Orleans to show for it.
Do you have any data to suggest that Dubya has taken more vacations than other sitting presidents? Or is this just more insult hurling? Is playing a guitar somehow less respectable than a saxophone?
