...Serbian culture: license plates are being blacked out, accents dropped, and street signs lengthened to show Albanian pronunciation. A U.N. worker was shot three hours after arriving in Pristina last month for speaking Serbian. How should Clinton pronounce the name of the place? He has already shown a Clintonian flexibility. In speeches prior to the NATO bombing he used the Serbian "Ko-sovo." During the war, he switched to the Albanian "Ko-so-va." There is a third option, the Arkansas variant, which he has drawled on occasion: "Ko-so-vo." It's wrong, but under the circumstances...

Although most people seem quite pleased with the choice, there is no doubt that a size able minority would prefer another speaker; after all, if getting jilted by Bill Clinton were sufficient qualification for giving the Address, we might as well invite Gennifer Flowers.
