The Audacity of Nope 0
The Booman analyzes the effects of the Republican Party’s policy of “Just say, ‘No'”:
One of Bill Clinton’s nicknames was “Slick Willie.” It would more accurately have been “Slippery Willie.” Mr. Clinton had a knack for slipping out of tough spots, most of which were of his own creation.
Mr. Obama is not slippery. But he sure as heck is slick, slicker than the Republicans have yet comprehended. If politics were chess, he would be Deep Blue.
Republicans are still acting as if the tactics they used against Mr. Clinton (mostly screaming, lying–Vince Foster q. v.–finger-pointing, and fantasizing about other persons’ sex lives) will work against Mr. Obama.
They won’t.
