Scaife reconsiders

[avram]

Y’know how bad a president Dubya is? He’s so bad that Richard Mellon Scaife now thinks Clinton was pretty good:

Christopher Ruddy, who once worked full-time for Mr. Scaife investigating the Clintons and now runs a conservative online publication he co-owns with Mr. Scaife, said, “Both of us have had a rethinking.”

“Clinton wasn’t such a bad president,” Mr. Ruddy said. “In fact, he was a pretty good president in a lot of ways, and Dick feels that way today.”

Hey, if Goldwater were still alive today, and young enough, I might vote for him. He favored abortion rights, hated the religious right, told the Republicans to lay off bugging Clinton about Whitewater, opposed the ban on gays in the military, supported medical marijuana, and described the Reagan administration's sale of arms to Iran as "the goddamn stupidest foreign policy blunder this country's ever made!" He also once said "I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass."

He also wanted to dismantle the New deal and was almost as militarisitc as Teddy Roosevelt.
