Quote for the Day:
The problem with his theory was that it didn't fit the facts. Most Democrats were tough on crime, supported welfare reform and a strong national defense, and had been much more fiscally responsible than the New-Right Republicans. Most were also hardworking, law-abiding Americans who loved their country, worked in their communities, and tried to raise their children well. Never mind the facts; Gingrich had his story line down pat, and he applied it every chance he got.

Clinton had part of Gingrich's number, he was a pathological liar with the ability to make it sound like truth carved into stone and handed down through the ages. He seems to have missed the part about how he was the most divisive, evil son of a bitch it has been my displeasure to see in Congress...or anywhere else there is a microphone and some fool willing to listen to him.

But Gingrich didn't stop there. The core of his argument was not just that his ideas were better than ours; he said his values were better than ours, because Democrats were weak on family, work, welfare, crime, and defense, and because, being crippled by the self-indulgent sixties, we couldn't draw distinctions between right and wrong.
I almost chose that one.
