That's right, the main liberal talking point since Clinton got run out of Washington is that idiotic liberal policy ideas represent "the political center". The voters set them straight in 2000, and will again in 2002 and 2004. But they'll never listen...

Alas the hearing is not a problem. An example of how a man hears and reacts and how a coward hears and reacts. Unlike Clinton, Bush Smiles Through Rude Greeting President George Bush got a sharp in-your-face rebuke earlier this month while attending a Philadelphia block party to celebrate July Fourth. But his reaction was unlike anything White House staff had come to expect during the Clinton years. Philadelphian Bill Langley claims he was in mid-presidential handshake when he told Bush, "I hope you serve only four years. I'm very disappointed in your work so far." Bush kept smiling and never lost his cool, but through a presidential grin fired back, "Who cares what you think?" That's not the way Bill Clinton handled up close and personal criticism from the hoi polloi. Just ask Pat and Glenn Mendoza, who were jailed and later audited by the IRS after Mrs. Mendoza gave Clinton a piece of her mind at a 1996 Chicago food fair. Bounding from his limousine and glad-handing his way towards the Mendoza's, who didn't want to have anything to do with him, Clinton introduced himself. "You suck and those boys died," Mrs. Mendoza blurted out, a reference to the June 1996 terrorist bombing of the Khobar Towers Air Force barracks in Saudi Arabia. Within seconds the Mendozas were rounded up by the Secret Service, who said they'd threatened the president's life. The couple spent a very uncomfortable night in the Cook County lock-up but when Chicago police couldn't corroborate any hint of a threat to Clinton, the Mendozas were freed. Video shot by a local Chicago news station seconds before the Secret Service swooped in showed Clinton whispering in consigliere Bruce Lindsey's ear while gesturing in the couple's direction. A few weeks later, out of the blue, the Mendozas were hit with an audit, joining the ranks of fellow Clinton accuser-auditees Gennifer Flowers, Billy Dale, Paula Jones, Liz Ward Gracen and Juanita Broaddrick and dozens more. For all his disdain for the new president, Bush-basher Langley knows he has no reason to fear any Clinton-like retribution under the new administration. He even briefly considered marketing T-shirts featuring the "Who cares what you think?" Bush quote. tom watson tosiwmee newsmax.com
