Substitute a mulah for Brownback and who would sneer? You might get van goghed. Attack a victim group and you are a racist. Who gets to be the UN? Ted Turner? Les gauche caviars promise equality but where do they live-a les plus blanc neighborhoods they can afford. But who determines which global culture?

Most people living in Ohio, say, realize that it'd be hard for Ohio to be a great place to live if the rest of the country is not - all of us are simply too connected for any one state to be truly "exceptional." What voters now need to realize is that the same is true of the US in this world of globalization. If voters really believe that we're exceptional, we're in trouble. All the really interesting and important problems - from climate change to terrorism to employment, etc. - defy national boundaries. We're less and less likely to be the exception to much of anything going on globally. The “exceptional” country claim is perhaps the most subtly dangerous of Brownback’s statements.

Why such a snide response?

First, until now Clinton has been a junior senator in the minority party. No legislation proposed by Democrats got <b>any</b> hearing until this month. The rules were changed in both the house and senate so that legislation not sponsored by the Republican leadership didn't even get hearings let alone be brought to a vote on the floor. Despite this Clinton has been doing things on the local level, especially in upstate NY. This region has been losing population and heavy industry for decades and she has been spending a lot of time meeting with local leaders and working on plans to improve condition in the region. The new governor, Spitzer, has promised to focus on these issues as well, but since this a long standing issue for the entire rust belt progress will be slow. I'm sure if you go to her senate web site and/or do a search for news items about her work as a senator you can find more information, but then that would spoil your fun wouldn't it? Snide remarks are so much more gratifying than dealing with reality. CaptiousNut:

Makes me a little seasick; looks like slo-mo flip-flopping." this may be insurance against opponents selectively editing the video, as the sudden jumps would be noticable. “The camera slowly pans while she just sits and talks; they Ken-Burnsed her video.
