  Our Eloquent Presidential Candidates
"Our party and our nation is [sic] bigger than this."

—Hillary Clinton, in a written statement yesterday, commenting on her recent feud with Barack Obama
 
Comments:
Clinton may not be great at dictating her press releases to her secretary. But then she's not (unlike, say, Rudy), RUNNING for dictator, IS SHE?


Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

Richard, let's keep our eye on the ball. We're electing a leader of the "'"'free'"'" world here. (Note even number of quotation marks.)
 
Standing Eagle,

Ideology should not supercede grammar. (Though that, of course, is an ideology in itself.)

Anyway, I seem to recall on this blog calling Rudy Giuliani "the worst person in the world," so that sort of tells you where I stand on the fascist from New York.

Speaking of Fascists, and history's lessons, here's composer Hanns Eisler about to be deported by a certain McCarthy:

"I listened to … the questions of these men and I saw their faces. As an old anti-fascist it became plain to me that these men represent fascism in its most direct form … but I take with me the image of the real American people whom I love."

And off he went into exile. All they would call him would be "deportee". Billy Bragg has a good arrangement and rendition of "Eisler on the Go", (lyrics by the dying Woodie Guthrie) on his (Bragg's) album "Mermaid Avenue".
