- Well, Taylor, I meant "fairly trivial" in comparison with worse crimes,
- such as (for example) selling arms to terrorist nations and illegally
- using the proceeds to destabilize Central American governments.
-
- I don't disagree that it's WRONG. My contention, which you totally failed
- to address (instead, drifting off into a frothing-at-the-mouth rave against
- evil communist liberals) was that there are OTHER points against Zoe Baird
- that mean she shouldn't have been picked for AG; and most of them concern
- the sillier aspects of modern conservatism, which she tends to be on.
-
- Incidentally, all of you ready to crucify Zoe Baird for violating immigration
- laws, what did you think of Ed "got out with the prosecutors fifteen feet
- behind him" Meese? Seems to be a double standard here, I reckon. (If you're
- curious, I think they BOTH committed crimes and deserve the appropriate
- penalties. The difference between the two cases is that Baird didn't get to
- weasel out of HER just desserts.)
