Truest statement of the week II

Tinny accounts may make us liberals feel good, but they're likely to convince few others.
Two other letters go straight to race. It’s the one thing we liberals know to say. Conservative elements hated Bill Clinton too. Since he was white, we had nothing to say about their war on him and his murderin' wife, or about their later war against Gore. Instead, we rolled over and died.
That approach worked out quite poorly. The tinny approach laid out in these letters isn't likely to help much either.
