Jim Treacher expounds on the boundaries of taste what the Left lacks...

The Oklahoma City bombing was 15 years ago today, and Clinton chooses to honor the memory of the people who were murdered by using them to chastise those who oppose a Democratic administration. Again. As Byron York recalls:

Clinton was in deep political trouble in April 1995. Six months earlier, voters had resoundingly rejected Democrats in the 1994 mid-term elections, giving the GOP control of both House and Senate. Polls showed the public viewed Clinton as weak, incompetent and ineffective. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his GOP forces seized the initiative on virtually every significant issue, while Clinton appeared to be politically dead. The worst moment may have come on April 18, the day before the bombing, when Clinton plaintively told reporters, “The president is still relevant here.”
And then came the explosion at the Murrah Federal Building. In addition to seeing a criminal act and human loss, Clinton and Morris saw opportunity. If the White House could tie Gingrich, congressional Republicans and conservative voices like Rush Limbaugh to the attack, then Clinton might gain the edge in the fight against the GOP.

Oh, and 80% of Americans say they can't trust Washington.

Mark Silva reminds us of what this low-confidence in Government means...

Only 22 percent of all Americans surveyed say they trust the government in Washington almost always or most of the time -- among the lowest measures in half a century - according to a new Pew Research Center survey released tonight.
The results point to "a perfect storm'' of public unrest, Pew reports -- "a dismal economy, an unhappy public, (a) bitter, partisan-based backlash and epic discontent with Congress and elected officials.
"Growing numbers of people want the power of government curtailed,'' Pew reports of a mid-March survey that has found "less of an appetite for government solutions to the nation's problems - including more government control over the economy - than there was when Barack Obama first took office...
"The public's hostility toward government seems likely to be an important election issue favoring the Republicans this fall,'' Pew reports. "However, the Democrats can take some solace in the fact that neither party can be confident that they have the advantage among such a disillusioned electorate. Favorable ratings for both major parties, as well as for Congress, have reached record lows while opposition to congressional incumbents, already approaching an alltime high, continues to climb.''
There have been political ramifications in the past when the public mood grew this sour: In 1980, Ronald Reagan unseated President Jimmy Carter. In 1994, the GOP won the House.

Back to my favorite punching bag, Bill (What's That Under My Desk?!) Clinton. Seems he's now nearly a worse ex-president than the other Democrat ex-president, consummate fool Jimmy Carter.

On second thought, give both of those Democrat Dunces free reign to speak. The more they speak, the better it is for the rest of us.  Who need to laugh on occasion.

Oh, and Jimmy Carter, this started on your watch...


Leave Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton alone! because laughter, it's the best medicine.
