Pundits and spin doctors have claimed over the last 48 hours or so
that George W. Bush is admitting his own failings by choosing the best
individual for the job who has more expertise than himself in several
areas.
Apparently, rather than compensate for any lack on his own part, he
should have picked a VP that couldn't overshadow him and make him look
good in comparison, perhaps following Bill Clinton's lead in 1992 when
he made his own lightwieght VP choice.

The major news media have greeted the news of George W. Bush's selection of Dick Cheney as his running mate with instant analyses of his health and have established a Death Watch, waiting for that immenent fourth heart attack that could come any time in the next 12 years.
Cheney's health, of course, doesn't fit the mold of a V.P. set forth by Al Gore. Cheney is obviously at death's door while Al Gore was just barely alive.

Another man has emerged alongside Bill Clinton as a character witness for his wife: actor Jon Lovitz says he's never heard Hillary use a slur and is sure she never would.
Meanwhile, Lovitz's name has emerged as a possible VP nominee for Al Gore (beating out Joe Isuzu by a hair) giving the Dream Ticket of the Man Who Invented the Internet and the Man Who Wrote the Yellow Pages.

Hillary (and Bill) claims she never uses ethnic remarks or even tells
ethnic jokes. So I guess she can come up with a non-ethnic explanation
for why she endearingly referred to Al D'Amato as
Senator Tomato.
Maybe a reference of concern for a sunburned face or scalp?

I'm not looking for a list of these and most of them are incredibly strained, but I liked this one that was passed my way:
Thursday, July 20, 2000
The Hillary Clinton campaign spin machine has rushed out to trash the
author of a recent book about her as well as the people who claim in the
book (and in recent interviews) that she used an ethnic epithet.
According to a hidden microphone, Hillary stated at a campaign
meeting: "Let's smash those f*****g Jew b******s for saying things like
that about me!!"

The friends of Bill are out defending Hillary against the F.J.B.
remark, and many are pointing fingers at her Senate opponent Rick Lazio.
Personally, I think that any candidate that can, within one month of
entering the race, can get someone to research a book, find witnesses,
write it, publish it and get it into the bookstores for all the world
to see in that short timespan, that kind of guy can get things done in
the Senate.

For that matter, I'm sure that the recent Rudy Guiliani expose was
just a co-incidence of timing and all research was done independently
of the information found in Rudy's FBI folder.

Great question? Doubt anyone will have any answers.

Go away for a week and look at the brouhaha that boils up!
Impeached president Bill Clinton says that Hillary Clinton has not
made an ethnic slur in 29 years.
Ironically, that's also the same period of time since Mark Fuhrman
says he last used the "N-word".
[C. J. Burke]
Several spokespeople over the weekend have said that just because
a person uses certain words in certain situations, that doesn't make
them an anti-Semite.
But does anyone really care what spokespeople for Pat Buchanan
think?
[C. J. Burke]
I wonder what's coming next now that Hillary has said that there
are more revelations, er, that should be "accusations", to come.
