I do not disagree with a word of what you have said - but the quality i am referring to is the ability to sway a crowd with style over substance and to lie audaciously with complete sincerity. If you believe Bill Clinton believed a word of what he said last night, you prove my point.
>>The Audacity of Hope pales in the light of true audacity. I remain in awe of Bill Clinton. As my first wife used to say, "The most important thing is sincerity ... if you can fake that, you've got it all."

>There's something special about Bill Clinton. He as prestance. Obama also has it. Bush never had it and never will.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
