I've Been Meaning To Ask...
By: Mark W Adams


Just what country does Charles Krauthammer live in?

First, for all of their worship of Diana and the Kennedys, Americans are instinctively republican and suspicious of dynastic politics. A vote for Hillary is a vote for the last entry of a Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton quarter-century.
This is a joke, right?

But I will thank Chuckles once again for adding another fascinating phrase to my lexicon, "Oedipus Prez" now joins "Unipolar" and "Commercial Republic" as one of my favorite, and very telling Krautisms.

And by the way, Chuckie, you must have forgotten Grover Cleveland's bifurcated turns at Re-Prezing when you say, "We have never had an ex-president move back into the White House."

I wonder just how bothered he'd be to find out that not only was one man both the 22nd and 24th President, or that New Dealer FDR(32) was elected to four, not just two terms -- and that was AFTER his 5th cousin and wife's uncle Teddy Roosevelt (26) proceeded Taft (27), a guy who saw the presidency as a stepping stone to a life-time appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. All of whom were succeeded by Wilson (28), who left governing the country to his wife the last two years of his terms in office after a stroke.

It must be nice to live in Chuckie's world, but it isn't the same incestuous planet the rest of us inhabit.

Here's a clue, if you want to know what the REAL problem is with Hill-Bill, watch this.
