Gad, I love this culture
Here’s an excerpt from Molly Ivins latest column which, as usual, is delightful. But check out that first line–and if you don’t know why thats even more delightful, scroll down to my list of Top High School Movies of All Time…
“Meanwhile, the Heathers (as Washington’s lightweight pundits are collectively known) are atwitter over the new Bob Woodward book. From reading secondhand accounts of it, the item that stopped me was not when Bush decided to invade Iraq – as per Clinton’s testimony to the 9-11 commission and Paul O’Neill’s book, Bush apparently wanted to invade from before he was sworn in – it’s the Prince Bandar story that left me whomper-jawed. Do you remember when someone who was connected to someone who was connected to someone who was connected to China was found to have raised money for Bill Clinton? The right wing came completely unglued over it, and all manner of hideous conspiracy theories were advanced. Maybe the Saudis trying to influence our elections shouldn’t startle me – the new book “House of Bush, House of Saud” is all about that connection. Still, the non-denial denials from the White House and the Saudis smell like rotten meat. Just what we need: a prez in hock to the Saudis.”
Heathers. Yes, of course. Perfect.
