[lbo-talk] letter to the editor

[Robert Wrubel]

In defense of Bush, or warning against the comforting
belief that he's a moron, almost every national
politican uses phrases like "national interest",
"strong defense", "progress", "the American people",
without having the vaguest notion of what they're
talking about. Or knowing full well they're talking
about nothing.
