It’s also funny that Clinton is still ridiculed for discussing the meaning
of is as it pertained to a legal extramarital affair between two adults,
but no one in the media is complaining about Dubya’s wholesale manipulation
of language.

I think I know why. The stakes are so much higher now that it is too horrifying
to accept. Most people I know, as far as I can figure, simply refuse to believe
that President Bush was lying to us the whole time to gain approval to pursue
his own agenda. I think that with all the lives that have been lost, many
people are just unwilling to accept the evidence. When it was Clinton, nothing
but self-respect was at stake.
I’m not interested in making fun of ‘the masses’ for this. I think it’s a
fascinating social phenomenon. It seems like you can point to most of our wars
and see similar acceptance. I wonder how this played out with Vietnam...anyone
out there old enough to discuss it (I was born a few months after my dad was
drafted).
