Thanks for the good laugh this morning - but I always thought that the second half of that was funnier: the "hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history".
Political speech-making has gone downhill these days.
(History note: Vice-President Agnew first said it, but it was written by William Safire - who went on to be an actual conservative writing for the NY Times after Watergate - hard to believe these days).
I happen to like to use the alliterary device of "latte lapping liberals"
