WorldNetDaily by Craige McMillan Rep. Dan Burton's recent characterization of President Clinton as a "scumbag" was wrong. The reason is, it's imprecise. And imprecision denies others the "mile in our shoes" necessary to reach such a disheartening conclusion. There are more accurate characterizations of the president's behavior. We could start with "liar."
WorldNetDaily by Alan Keyes These are dark days for lovers of liberty and the American Republic. Evidence is mounting that our entire political elite has cast its lot with government by the arrogant and unaccountable few. The abandonment of national and local sovereignty is now a habit with leaders of both parties, whether it be the betrayal of American sovereignty to the World Trade Organization, or of state and local sovereignty to a Congress that wants to dictate legal blood alcohol levels to the states. And the role of moral principle in our public life is, shall we say, obscure at the moment.

New York Post By Dick Morris ON Oct. 5, 1993, Bruce Lindsay told his best friend, President Bill Clinton, the explosive news: The Justice Department was about to make Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker a target in a criminal probe over the collapse of the Madison Guarantee Savings and Loan. On Oct. 6, Clinton and Tucker met for their first White House rendezvous of the administration. The next day, the White House secret police appear to have swung into action.
WorldNetDaily by Joseph Farah Last October, heavily armed NATO "peacekeepers" seized four radio and television transmitters controlled by Bosnian Serbs. The United States and its Western allies are now so proud of their action that they are creating a tribunal with the power to shut down radio and TV stations and punish newspapers engaged in undermining "peace."
Washington Times By Wesley Pruden Just when the AIDS epidemic shows signs of abating, we've got another one to worry about. Some people are trying to spread civility, which heretofore was never known to be contagious.

Washington Post House Republicans are testing a new approach to the politics of tobacco: Cigarettes may be bad, but taxes and big government are worse. Washington Post Amid the crowded confluence of Hollywood and Washington that took place Saturday night at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, the most wanted star was someone who has never been in a movie or held elected political office, published a best-selling book or hosted a television show, or even done time at the Betty Ford Center.
