<<Perhaps you thought the very idea was so absurd as to be ipso facto humorous.>> That's exactly it, Larry. As for my being a VOA employee, let me note the following: 1) I was hired under the Reagan Administration. 2) My bailiwick has always been the (former) Soviet Union, not U-S politics (on which I have never written); 3) And, most importantly, I resigned (retired) from the VOA earlier this year. (Obviously, I must update my profile.) Finally, let me point out that if you had read my prior posts (I am not suggesting that you should have), you would have seen that although I am a life-long Democrat, I cast a protest vote against Bill Clinton in 1996. jbe

Larry: How about the 'joke' Alec Baldwin displayed on the Conan O'Brien show last Friday night where he screamed that everyone should go to Hyde's and Barr's houses and stone them and their families to death. I thought I would die laughing:( Imagine the reaction if Charlton Heston or Arnold Schwartzenegger (Sp?) joked doing the same to Conyers or Frank and their families? halfscot

Larry, His tactics are transparent. He disguises himself as neutral, develops his pro-Clinton leftist scenario, and then hides behind "I was just kidding". The leftist journalist have been using similar technique for decades, so it's not suprising to learn that he is a journalist. Just normal behaviour. The only positive aspects of this sordid debate is the exposure of the moral bankruptcy of our political leaders in both parties, as well as the ethical and moral bankruptcy of the majority of the American people in defending Clinton. The mythical self-perspective of Americans as the moral leaders and giants of the world is collpasing. It was as if the nightly feasting on the perversion of Hollywood and network TV, the distorted reporting of the controlled daily press, and the murder of millions of babies in the womb, had not really reached the mythically pure individual American and their political leaders. It is now clear that the American establishment is a very evil, possibly the most evil in the world. Our greatest sin is our constant moralizing and pretension of having the moral high ground. Only a return to our Christian roots will free us from this moral collapse. Emile
