Nominee for national voice of reason
E.J. Dionne has a nice, calm op-ed on the mess Bush has got himself into.
And since Reagan's legacy is in the news, here is a fascinating debate between Dionne and Dinesh D'Souza from 1997, in which Dionne calmly and systematically demolishes D'Souza's claims that all good things spring from Reagan's administration. Also worth noting is how silly D'Souza's attacks on Clinton look to anyone who a.) misses the prosperity of the Clinton years or b.) wishes those years hadn't been wasted on silly sex scandals, when we could have been preparing for the challenges to come.
