I think that's pretty much it. It goes back to Clinton's impeachment, when
H. was sharing stages with Coulter and sweet-talking to Horowitz -- he told
me that he didn't care if he was in bed with the trog right, "I'll take what
I can get." It's been Ends-Justify-Means ever since, esp now that he's
embraced global corporate power as the natural state of "progressive" human
affairs. Oh, did I mention that H. takes a generous view of a potential US
invasion of Cuba? Can't wait to read him on that, should it occur.
