Tailhook Apology Neal Boortz April 10, 1998 Neal Boortz, WSB AM750 Atlanta, www.boortz.com A CHALLENGE FOR SAM DONALDSON -- OR ANY OTHER WHITE HOUSE REPORTER Some of my listeners have suggested contributing money to a pot. The pot would be paid to the first reporter who gets this question to the President in a nationally televised news conference: "Mr. President, as Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, do you have any plans to order the reinstatement of the Naval and Marine aviators who were forced out of the military due to their participation in Tailhook so that they can get back to doing the job that the American people hired them to do?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HONESTY IN GOVERNMENT Teddy Roosevelt said this on May 12, 1900 .. .while he was still governor of New York. Too bad we don't have more people who feel this way today. "We can afford to differ on the currency, the tariff, and foreign policy; but we cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure ... "Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity "The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone; but without honesty, the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. "No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.... "'Liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. "Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious."
