Perhaps someone can step off the Rightwing Spincycle Carousel long enough to tell us -- why does Jeane Kirkpatrick hate America so?

Jeane Kirkpatrick, 1979 -- Vietnam presumably taught us that the United States could not serve as the world's policeman; it should also have taught us the dangers of trying to be the world's midwife to democracy when the birth is scheduled to take place under conditions of guerrilla war.

My sister sent me this link from Down Under -- why aren't they telling us this stuff up here in the USA?

November 4, 2003 - 10:32AM

The US government will pay Linda Tripp, a central figure in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, more than [$595,000, US] as part of a settlement of lawsuits in which she accused US officials of violating her privacy, court documents showed today.

(Keep in mind, this is the BUSH administration's settlement reached with a fellow Clenis-hating wingnut, Linda Tripp:

"Twist my arm! Ow! OK, I'll give you another $100 thou!"

"Here, anoint yourself with this Crisco. Chant together now, in unison: 'Bad, bad Clenis!'")
