Poltical flashback

[womzilla]

One of my occasional hobbies is to re-read my old Usenet posts (or my old LJ posts, for that matter). I just came across this from September 20092000:

I listened to Woody Bush on _The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer_(*) last night--they played long excerpts from stump speeches from both Bush and Gore.

I was really struck by a slip of Bush's tongue: He referred to everyone having the right to "live in a private safe neighborhood".

I don't know about you, but I find this very revealing.

*WNYC-AM radio broadcasts the sound of that evening's _NewsHour_ every weeknight. I find it very pleasant to listen to as I am preparing for bed.

So, hey, we were warned.

(ETA: Sheesh.)
