Duncan,
Just because you haven't matured past 17 doesn't mean the electorate won't. If you believe the next generation is a Democratic voting block then you will probably end up as one of those bumbling old guys ranting about the youth. Let's get back together in 20 years and see who is running the show. We've seen where the youth of the 70's and 80's has put us. Or do you need a reminder - White House, check. House of Representatives, check. U.S. Senate, check. Governorships, check. State Legislatures, check. Yup, those pesky X gens did wonders for your party. You better get to those 3rd graders fast. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
President Bush has them high-fiving over at the Warren G. Harding presidential library, because they know that their days at the bottom of the list will soon be over. |

You can say what you want about Rolling Stone, but this is how Bush will be remembered. Incompetent. Worst president ever. That will be his legacy (well, along with permanent U.S. war in the Middle East, never capturing Bin Laden, gas gouging for fun and profit, giving the finger to New Orleans, and, of course, those baffling seven minutes where he did absolutely nothing...)
Like it or not, think it's a joke or not, Rolling Stone is a cultural touchstone. |

And lying about who gets the tax cuts, lying how much prescription drug coverage would cost, allowing his cronies to get away with the California electricity crisis of 2001, never catching the anthrax killer, a thousand idiot malapropisms.
Coming soon: the total isolation of the United States after preemptively nuking Iran. Economic sanctions, boycotts, violence against tourists. And oh yeah, the mass radicalization of the middle east. Violent overthrows of governments in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey. And so on. |

You have to wonder about the mainstream media when someone as qualified as Wilentz has to resort to putting that article in a publication like Rolling Stone... |

Rolling Stone is pretty mainstream. Its political writing is very serious, and its circulation is comparable to name-brand magazines like Vogue, Car & Driver, Popular Mechanics, Vanity Fair.
