ask the RNC what to write:

And do we really want America to be America again when part of the America we are remembering is the one in which terrorists were gathering strength and acting with what amounted to impunity through the decade? Yes, during the transition, the farsighted Sandy Berger wanted the incoming Bush crowd that Al Qaeda was the main threat. But why didn't the Clinton administration see that earlier, and do something about it? If Clintonites are so tight in the Kerry circle—and they are—is that a sign that the terrorism threat will be handled well?

Finally, if we want America to be America again, do we want to revive that part of America that contained Monica Lewinsky? Do we want to remember what happened in the off hours in the Oval Office in those days? Do we want to hear Clinton's explanation for why he shouldn't be blamed for allowing his presidency to be distracted? It wasn't just the "vast right-wing conspiracy" at work; it was Clinton's fault that he gave them the ammo they needed to paralyze the last two years of his time in office. No one's saying Kerry is Clinton, but in the next few months it could be Clinton—and not the nominee—who will be Mr. Democrat.

What an RNC tool you are, Mr. Fineman.

BTW, how much do good copyeditors cost these days?

Berger "wanted" the Bushies about al-Qaeda? How about "warned" instead?

I also can't help but point out that, if you've actually read Richard Clarke's book, it reveals that Bill Clinton didn't ignore al-Qaeda after the 1998 embassy bombings. He launched a missile strike against him that the Heathers in the press corps insisted was an attempt to distract us from the pointless Monica bomb that had engulfed Washington at the time.

And, as we all know, the Bushies didn't do a damn thing for nine entire months to follow up on Sandy Berger's warning about al-Qaeda.

What do you have to say about that, Mr. Fineman?

Liberal media my, uh, hind foot!
