My earlier post about Mary Landrieu reminded me of Bill Clinton's reaction when told of Dennis Hastert's remarks about New Orleans having to be bulldozed:
In Syracuse, N.Y., former president Bill Clinton was discussing New Orleans's dilemma when someone described the speaker's comments. Had they been in the same place when the remarks were made, Clinton said, "I'm afraid I would have assaulted him."
It strikes me that Bill Clinton, who grew up working class in Arkansas, would have a lot more empathy for the people of Louisiana than the blue-blood Bushes from Texas.
