Congratulations. You've just become the leader of the most spineless, ineffective party in American History. Before I answer any of your numerous requests for donations, you're going to have to do something for me. You're going to have to prove to me that you can pull the party's collective head out of its considerable ass.
Chertoff passed the Senate 98-0. Apparently, there are no Democrats in the Senate. Silly me, I thought two of them just ran for President and VP. WTF? . . .
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
