...punch line: telling Israelis that no matter how many of their women and children are lying in pieces on the street, they must continue to negotiate with the very people who harbor and abet these murderers. And honor them: suicide bombers are hailed as shaheed, holy martyrs. Indeed, a poll taken of West Bank Palestinians showed that they approved, by 49% to 38%, of the previous suicide bombing, the March massacre in a Tel Aviv cafe...
There has been so much written about Clinton's life in Little Rock that it's not difficult to imagine what his visits to the Jade Goober must have been like.

"The idea that Reagan brought down the Berlin Wall, Bush unified Germany, and Clinton will unite Europe sounded good at 1600 Pennsylvania...
...Your poll showed that 13% of Americans believe intelligent beings from other planets have been in contact with members of the U.S. government. I think the numbers would have been higher if you had asked people if they thought U.S. government officials were from another planet. Why would E.T.s want to speak to anyone in our government?
