I just barely caught the last minute of the MTP thing. When do you suppose the wheels came off? I think it was FLA 2000. That's when the loony left finally went completely insane.
I never thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right.
But here's some insight from Simpson on that:
And let me tell you, if anybody thinks — if this had happened to anybody else in America, it would have been like a sparrow belch in a typhoon.
WALLACE: Fair to say that your friend doesn't have much regard for the mainstream press, sir?
SIMPSON: I tell you, no. I think he has a high regard for the press, but he has a dismissiveness to stupidity. And where it started, where it started was when he and Colin Powell and Pete Williams, their press guy, when he was secretary of defense, answering questions on the first Gulf War, questions like when will you attack, where will the attack take place and how many forces.
Now, you've got to have rock for brains to ask questions like that. And I think at that time he just thought if they're goofy like that, you know, why not just stay away from them.
***Maybe that's when they started going mad and we missed all the signs.
BTW, this is a great quote from Simpson:
And let me tell you, if anybody thinks — if this had happened to anybody else in America, it would have been like a sparrow belch in a typhoon.
I love this man.
