From the recently concluded impeachment of the Boy President to his Kosovo blunder one thing looms ever clearer.
Partisanship is the essence of politics.
Once again, Bill Clinton did not tell us the truth. When he whined about how terribly partisan the Republicans are and how innocent of partisanship are his Democrats, he again was spreading deceit. Both parties are partisan, and increasingly so to the exclusion of all else. Crude partisanship flummoxed impeachment and it now threatens our military operation in Kosovo. Neither enduring principles nor cold facts have much to do with the sides taken by Washington's politicians.
