Did you ever see Brian DePalma's "The Untouchables"? It is like Andy Garcia's character, the Italian policeman who was so offended that Capone and his boys were bringing the Italians into disrepute that he was eager to sign on to the task force. Chris is trying to salvage the honor of the Democratic Party. Nice, Neocon. No innuendo there, nosiree. Who cooked up this Clinton-Capone thing in the first place? It's been floating around for a while., I recall a barbed exchange with someone who said Capone was taken down for perjury. When I pointed out it was tax evasion, the reply came back that tax evasion is perjury. When you're concerned about "truth and justice", "rule of law" and getting rid of Clinton the antichrist by any means possible, subtle distinctions like that just don't matter much.

Both Lyndon Johnson and Clinton have Liberal agendas domestically. One was initially effective, Bill's not. The disturbing similarity is how easily the two foreign policy's could be seen to be politically financing the domestic agenda. LBJ gives American Industry the Vietnam Conflict as a conduit for billions, payoff to support/ignore the changes at home. WJC gives American Industry the foreign trade agreements for their quiteness at home. In both cases, the foreign policies pillage the world, while creating the worst of domestic rebound. This needn't be read as any overt conspiracy theory.

<<By the way, not only is Chris Matthews still a Democrat,...>> I think there's a pretty simple test for this one Neocon: if it doesn't look like a duck, and it doesn't walk or swim like a duck, and it doesn't quack like a duck, but it does spend all its time curled up among the rocks with the other snakes - then it ain't a duck. My (personal impression only), is that C.M. falls into the rather large category of "visceral" Clinton haters. My own wild ass guess would be that Bill Clinton reminds Chris exactly of some kid who was elected to be Class President instead of Chris, even though Chris knows in his own heart and soul that he, Chris, was much better qualified, and had a much better platform, and had done much better posters, and had been Class Vice-President the year before, and was just as smart and good-looking, and was much more active in school events, and...(and every petty personal resentment still attached to that event). Or, Clinton was the guy that the girl went out with instead of Chris, even though Chris would have treated her much better, and everyone knew that Clinton was only interested in using her, and...(every petty personal resentment attached to that incident). Or, Clinton was the guy who dodged the draft, while Chris and/or his friends and/or his relatives had to serve, and they were much better human beings than Bill Clinton, but they were killed and wounded, and...(Clinton is personally responsible for every injustice of war.) Etc. But, you know, that's just my impression - it could be all about Al Capone, I don't know.

The central Clinton hater is a guy in Arkansas who was at Oxford with Clinton. Yes, he is a Republican, but the Washington Post did a profile of him a few years ago, and even they thought it was not ideological, but personal. Yes, Neocon, I saw this too. But, when a country handles its major 'coups' by attributing them to triggering events that are almost always precipitated by a social misfit, a 'loner': Oswald, Ruby, Ray, Sirhan, Foster's stalker/Reagan's shooter, this guy you're speaking of whose name I don't remember either, Mondale's shooter...etc., for that matter Monica and Linda, you have to ask, who was that masked man, Oxford grad, from deepest, darkest Arkansas?
