Is this guy implying that Republicans are more honorable than Dems? <<The first step is to refrain from impugning the character or motives of those you disagree with. All incorrect statements are not lies. If you need a model of the opposite behavior, consider the recent statement by former Clinton administration official Paul Begala that President George W. Bush is a ``high functioning moron.'' This base insult has been passed around, shall we say, liberally. If you construct a list of significant Republican national figures, you will quickly find that it can be divided into two lists. First there are those who are ``stupid,'' such as Sarah Palin, Dan Quayle and Bush. Then there are those who are ``evil,'' such as Vice President Dick Cheney or now-deceased Senator Jesse Helms. Reagan was so effective that he achieved the lofty status of being both ``stupid'' and ``evil.'' The second step is for the Republican community to do something that the Democratic community failed to do in the past eight years: collectively enforce honorable standards by objecting when others stray. Behave honorably, and demand that of others. >> This is coming from a guy who works at AEI, which gave us the rationale for Iraq war. Enough said. bloomberg.com
