- Oh, boy, Sachs is warming up for another rave at the

-
- <I don't disagree that it's WRONG.
-
- Gosh, I thought that the concept of "right" and "wrong"
- was just another example of evilwhitemalePatriarchy....
-
- <My contention, which you totally failed

-
- Perhaps Sachs can show where I've ever posted anything
- about "evil communist liberals"?
-
- Or is he, yet again, making it up as he goes along?
-
- <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.
-
- Ah, Sachs apparently agrees with what Ben Wattenberg of the
- Democratic Leadership Committee calls "the Megaphone Left"....
- anyone who ever worked for an evilwhitemaleCapitalistPatriarchy
- is disqualified for government "service".
-
- Sachs may be disappointed by President Bill if the DLC has
- any influence on the administration...
-
- <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?
-
- Gee, Sachs, what Federal crimes was Meese found guilty of,
- again?
-
- Oh, none?
-
- Oh, it was yet another baseless witch hunt (like Ray Donovan)?
-
- <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.)
-
- Uh, Baird confessed to a crime that is punishable by up to
- 10 years in a Federal pen, but got away with paying back
- taxes; the amount is essentially petty change to someone
- who's worth over $2 million.
-
- Looks like Sachs isn't so much opposed to plutocracy, he
- just prefers the oligarchs to mouth Leftist slogans...
