Sunday Roundup

This was a week for might-have-beens and paths-not-taken. Al Gore accepted the Nobel Prize, reminding us that America's loss was Mother Earth's gain. President Bush stood in the White House and told ABC: "I doubt I'd be standing here if I hadn't quit drinking whiskey." Sobriety's gain was America's loss. And Bill Clinton told an Iowa crowd that when they were first dating, he advised Hillary to dump him. I wonder if Ron Burkle gave the same advice to Bill. And a reminder to all readers: our Bush Years posters are selling like Lawrence O'Donnell dolls at a Salt Lake City voodoo shop, so order yours today. They make great political stocking stuffers.
