Several have pointed out that in yesterday's piece, "NETWORK TRANSLATION: 'Crap-Speak," POINT - The Way failed to include a quote from Carol Moseley Braun, who knows she's already a loser but is along for the free ride nonetheless. Yes, we had no quote. We figured that she knows she's already a loser but is along for the free ride nontheless and didn't have anything of substance to say (she had a grand time, though, on the dance floor at Rep. James Clyburn's annual fish fry on Friday night). Notwithstanding this truth, here is quote (despite the fact that we, frankly, feel that being, or allowing ourselves to be forced into being, politically correct is actually assenting to our rights being stiffled, and, therefore, refuse to ascribe to political correctness):
Moseley Braun: "The unemployment rate is up to 6 percent under this president. They have ruined this economy." Translation: "We are now seeing the effects of clinton's failure to stop the first stages of economic collapse that his administration brought on by ignoring the impending economic doom and letting it collapse. If we keep blaming it on the Republicans, then maybe we can prevent the people from knowing that truth is that, in the larger picture, what a president does now affects the nation in 3-10 years from now. If we can get them to believe that the way they are/live now is the result of who is in control now; then they'll vote us in so we can continue our socialist policies (and those dope fish dances)."
OK, so she didn't really say the latter; besides, she couldn't possibly have rationally formulated at once a thought that encompassing. Actually, as we said, truth is that she didn't have anything of substance to say.
