Arkansas tackiness? Powerline. Huck: Tacky. Hillary: Tacky and corrupt. She might be as dishonest as Bill. After all, doesn't water seeks its own level?
Al Gore, swindler? God knows, he is getting richer and fatter, and looking like becoming a plutocrat.

Today's Hillary Clinton quote:
"I am a fan of the social policies that you find in Europe "-Hillary Clinton in 1996," from the book "I've Always Been A Yankee Fan" by Thomas D. Kuiper, p.6
Derbyshire quoted in a piece at Powerline about Nativism:
The U.S.A. has an immigration system, under laws passed by the people's representatives in Congress. For twenty years the federal government, for reasons to do with ideology and "interest," has failed to enforce those laws. As a result, tens of millions of foreigners have settled in our country unlawfully, while other foreigners who wish to settle here but respect our laws, wait long years in their home countries for permission to enter.
A great many Americans are very angry about this. If you were to poll those angry Americans on the topic of legal immigration, you'd get all sorts of answers, from severe-restrictionist to couldn't-care-less. The center of gravity of the answers would probably be somewhere like: "Sure we should have immigrants, but it should be done legally, properly."
The anger, the shouting, the jammed Congressional switchboards, the cable-news bloviating, is about the federal government's failure to enforce federal law. To glibly dismiss it all as "anti-immigrant" is gross propagandistic distortion. . .
