None of The Below
By George F. Will
Washington Post
Arthur Balfour, the British statesman, once said that a rival's clarity was a liability because he had nothing to say. As the presidential nomination contests approach a crescendo, some candidates are making themselves perilously clear, one of them with the help of her helpmate.
Last Tuesday, Bill Clinton, trying to whet Iowans' appetites for another Clinton presidency, announced/discovered/remembered that he opposed the Iraq war "from the beginning," thereby revealing disharmony with his spouse, who voted for it. Backward reels the mind, to 1992, when Gov. Clinton explained his opinion of Congress's 1991 authorization of the Persian Gulf War: "I guess I would have voted with the majority if it was a close vote. But I agree with the arguments the minority made."

Will isn't what I would call a dedicated laissez-faire capitalist, but you should read the comments posted on this article. Someone apparently made a call to the local Karl Marx Society headquarters. Will seems to have attracted every socialist on the Internet with this one.
As for one commenter's remarks: there is a far cry from the unitary executive as envisioned by the founders and subsequent federalists and as supported by Will and the rape of the Constitution carried out by George Bush and his cronies.
As for Clinton, Huckabee (Clinton Lite), and Edwards (Clinton Wannabe), Will nails it.
You're far from one of my favorites, George, but way to go!
