Richard Cohen: Dunce
Squatting above the latrine of the Washington Post’s editorial page and squeezing so hard his anus prolapses, Richard Cohen drops the following turd:
We all have time to assess him on that score and glean — and it will be no more than that — whether, like Teddy Roosevelt (42), he is old enough for the presidency or, like Bill Clinton (46), he is still too young.
By “too young”, I suppose Cohen to mean “immature”, a reference to Mr. Clinton’s alter-ego,the Clenis.
I will take this opportunity to remind Richard Cohen, who has his own history of nailing people he shouldn’t, including Peter Jennings’ wife, that Bill Clinton:
** balanced the budget
** left the American people a surplus when he left office
** reformed welfare (for better or worse)
** was highly popular during his two terms, leaving office at 65% approval (and even at his lowest still outpolled the current occupant, who Cohen backed during the Florida recount)
** made apprehending Osama bin Laden a priority.
And the rest of Cohen’s column, in which he takes swipes at black people and Democrats while purporting to speak for both, is little more than backsplash.
