David Broder’s Zombie Columns
Tweet
David Broder really is something like the undead. Moving from one set of idiotic observations to another, Broder just wants to eat brains and leave the thinking to someone else.
Like President Bill Clinton after the Democrats lost control of Congress in 1994, Bush has gone through a period of wrenching adjustment to his reduced status. But just as Clinton did in the winter of 1995, Bush now shows signs of renewed energy and is regaining the initiative on several fronts.
The idea that George Bush is anything like Bill Clinton in the public imagination is as far off base as Broder’s suggestion that Democrats hate the military. Clinton was simply never as roundly and consistently disliked by as many people as Bush is. Clinton suffered occasional setbacks, but he never totally lost the American people the way Bush has. But Zombie Broder just wants to eat brains and spew nonsense, and he’s got a newshole to fill.

Come on, man. Bush is like Clinton in lots of ways.
Um….hang on…. Oh, they both have penises..
Except Clinton actually uses his once in a while.
“Except Clinton actually uses his once in a while.”
Though on near-under age female interns directly under his power.
And on lots of women other than his wife.
Yeah, nice guy.
Back it up Dugger. You just made a slanderous statement about under-age interns, prove it or retract it. Maybe you have Bill CLinton confused with Mark Foley and the now deposed Republican leadership.
Nice try, Duggs. That turd won’t flush.
midder,
Your quality has gone further down hill lately. Did you bother to read the post before you frothed off? See the ‘near’?
Retract this!!!
Honestly – how many 2×4 do you have to get whacked with in the head before you start thinking Clinton’s rendezvouseses are in any way comparable to Bush’s myriad fuckups.
Though on near-under age female interns directly under his power.
All true. Except:
Ms. Lewinsky was 23 at the time, putting her either five or seven years over the age of consent;
Ms. Lewinsky was not an intern–she was a full-time employee at the Pentagon;
Ms. Lewsinsky was not in a direct reporting relationship to Mr. Clinton.
Other than that, excellent comment.
Semantics? Okay, explain how 22 is near-under aged in any reasonable person’s book. You used the words under-aged to imply perversion or illegality. Back it up.
By your logic, everyone is “near-under age”, possibly the most ridiculous term I’ve ever heard.
I think he’s offended because his idol Bush looks a bit effeminate and especially lately a bit emasculated. I guess Bush is a near-Eunuch?
And my mom’s a near-virgin, too!
Okay, explain how 22 is near-under aged in any reasonable person’s book.
The way all our soldiers are referred to as “children”.
JONATHAN COULTON reference! Excellent! Enough of this political crap, more awesome songs about office zombies! Coulton shall soon rule the world.

22 is near underage? Who knew? Directly under his power? Gee, according to the lady, she was intending a seduction before she even took the job. There’s a difference between that and lying to Americans to justify a war then waged incompetently. You just can’t help distorting and engaging in RNC disinformation. No wonder you lost elections.
Going to Jonathan Coulton this Sunday in SF. It’s gonna be a great show!!!
Hopefully, there won’t be any underage females there.
Will this turn off the italics?
Dag, Dugger got the bitch slapped right out of him.
Dugger, you gonna let that stand? Or is you just cryin to your mas right now?
Lewinskey was 22 (my recollection) and an intern and directly under Clinton’s power. You can quibble about ‘near’ all she wants. Bottom line is Clinto took sexual advantage of a very young and inexperienced intern. Its one thing to tell the history of Clinton’s term honestly, another to portray his affair with a young intern under his power as ‘harmless.”
It was wrong. Bad wrong.
