You were light years ahead of them. Time for those banging pots and pans.

Sneering, jeering, bad manners, hideous diplomacy, threats, demands, lies, arrogance, bluster, tax cuts for the rich. And you wonder why we think he's a lousy president?

Among the more amusing cluckings from the right lately is their appalled discovery that quite a few Americans actually think George W. Bush is a terrible president.

Robert Novak is quoted as saying in all his 44 years of covering politics, he has never seen anything like the detestation of Bush. Charles Krauthammer managed to write an entire essay on the topic of "Bush-haters" in Time magazine as though he had never before come across a similar phenomenon.

Oh, I stretch memory way back, so far back, all the way back to--our last president. Almost lost in the mists of time though it is, I not only remember eight years of relentless attacks from Clinton-haters, I also notice they haven't let up yet. Clinton-haters accused the man of murder, rape, drug running, sexual harassment, financial chicanery, and official misconduct. And they accuse his wife of even worse.

2. You could hear Miss Molly rocking at the House of Blue Lights

And I am drinking...

hard.

I remember dining at Quilted Giraffe (I think), NYC, with Molly and Linda Ellerbee.

The waiter came up and asked us if we were all from Texas.

We asked him how he knew we were from Texas.

He said that he knew when he saw us eating off of each other's plates.


Good Golly, Miss Molly...

Sure gonna miss you
