Good points and Steven made them well. They were insulting and offensive points, made to degrade the pro-war supporters, aimed at Bill all with no evidence or argument. Strickly ad hominen and cruel. Paul

Just to add some fuel to our "Tempest in a Teapot," here is the latest from Frum on the Hersh/Perle controversy. >>>>Michael Tomasky quotes an amazing remark of Seymour Hersh?s. In Harvard Wednesday to collect (of all things) a lifetime achievement award for journalism, Hersh was asked about Richard Perle?s Monday remark on CNN that he, Hersh, was the closest thing the America had to a terrorist. Hersh, Tomasky says, shrugged it off. "Forty years ago, he would have called me a communist, and 70 years ago, he would have called me a Jew. It's the same thing with these people." I'm not sure which people are "these people" to Hersh. But I love the "called me a Jew" touch: For six months, conspiracy mongers have identified Richard Perle as the leader of the Jewish "cabal" supposedly leading the U.S. to war. Hersh first signs up with that cabal - and then turns around andn suggests that Perle combine his role as the Cabalist (Kabbalist?)-in-Chief Hersh with a second responsibility as lead persecutor of the Jews. Perle packs an awful lot into his days. But even he has his limits. Too bad Hersh knows none, not even the limit of minimal internal intellectual consistency.<<<<< nationalreview.com
