Supreme Rhetoric: Remember the past when watching the hearings.

National Review

You have to wonder sometimes whether politicians really mean all the angry things they say about their opponents. If they weren't at least somewhat convincing in their delivery of disingenuous remarks, after all, they just wouldn't be good politicians. And presumably they can justify going over the top simply by what it does for their cause.

Yet once in a while it becomes pretty obvious to everyone that the vicious political attacks we hear everyday are simply empty rhetoric.
