Another good one from Gene Lyons

"If nothing else, Bill Clinton definitely put the right man in charge of fighting al-Qa’ida. Evidently, the Bush administration once thought so, too.
On the morning of 9/11, it was Richard Clarke who ran the White House Situation Room while almost everybody else ran for bomb shelters, and Air Force One flew hither and yon until conditions were safe enough for the president to return to Washington."

1. Great column...

And we definitely need to keep bringing up that when the terrorists attacked, pResident Tuffonterror hid like a scared child all day. And then lied about having been a target himself.

2. Great last paragraph

" Each time Clinton struck al-Qa’idaor warned against terrorism, Republicans accused him of trying to divert attention from his sexual sins. So, yeah, Clarke has an ax to grind. He clearly believes Republicans put party over country during the Clinton years, and that the Bush White House is doing it again. And so far, he’s getting the best of the argument."
