Re MBS's:  "The greatest crime is the ability of
a simple Congressional majority, in
collusion with a Reaganite judiciary,
to railroad a popularly elected
president from office.  It smacks
of fascism.  Clinton's deeds against
Iraq, whatever you think of them, are
business as usual.  The time to criticize
business as usual is all the time.
The time to criticize the act of
impeachment is right now.  The
ratification of Delay's coup makes
future Iraq-type actions much
more likely, not less."

I'm much inclined to say the hell with Clinton also, but this is very
well put, Max.  See also today's NY Times, viz.:

"Having disagreed with the president on issues like welfare reform,
crime policy, the North American Free Trade Agreement and military
actions in the Persian Gulf, many on the left of the [Democratic] party
are now finding themselves in the uncomfortable position of defending
him. 

"'The right looks at Clinton and they see us,' said Robert Borosage, a
fellow with the Institute for Policy Studies and an adviser to [Jesse]
Jackson during his 1988 presidential campaign. 'They see anti-war, gay
rights, pro-choice, civil rights. But when we look at him, we don't see
us at all. 

"'But," Borosage added, 'we can't let the right wing win. He ain't much.
But he's all we got.'"
