- So? What's the big deal about? It's all just a big liberal-sponsored
- witch-hunt. Why should such a powerful position be given to just one
- person? He doesn't have to answer to *anyone*. That's just not right,
- IMHO.

- Right, like the Clinton administration will be any different. It's always
- the same. It doesn't matter if it's Republicans or Democrats. Sometimes,
- you have to do "unpopular" and "politically incorrect" things to get
- the job done. It's the way the world works. It may not sit well with
- the average citizen whose only link to the rest of the world is CNN Headline
- News.

- Ah, but this is all speculation on our part. The only one who knows

- Naw, let's keep him around to do the same thing when we've had a few
- years of ugliness and greed under a Democratic administration!
