Friendly Fire Returned

Chris,
Nothing better than a good public feud; even better when it's internecine. I've been trying to get Jon Carroll of San Francisco Chronicle to feud with me for years over which of us has "the world's most perfect granddaughter." For the record, I do. In fact I have two of them: Roxie & Iris.

I buy your core argument. He is no more despicable than James the Craven Cajun Carville ( a low bar indeed) who smeared the women who told on Clinton. I dissed him at the time. But he is long gone from power and Rove still holds office. So, like the doves he'll hunt, he's in the free-fire zone as well as our FriendlyFire.

But you are right on a deeper level. There is something in Rove, as with James C, that I find personally offensive. I know that nations, and I guess leaders, are amoral. But I don't have to like it.

This is my soft-hearted (headed?) liberalism (I'll use Liberal, even if Hillary won't). Too many political advisors take no prisoners and their causes become more important than the people. They lose sight of our value and our values in winning at all costs. I believe we the people pay the price.

Cheers From the Liberal Side (but no fratricide this time)
Jonathan
