It would be a refreshing campaign ad: “For years I have steadfastly avoided using my power to screw things up, preferring […]

“If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you’ve said — unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist.
