Description

A year before the presidential election, Mr. Kinsley is saying, "The failed coup in the Soviet Union ... allowed President Bush to revel once more in the role of world leader... If a Democrat is ever to be elected President again, the party will have to figure out a way to appeal to the South." The two Southern pols who are our guests aren't conceding anything. WFB: "If you have to point to a single problem it's illegitimacy, risen by a factor of 280 per cent in the last 15 years.... Now, licentiousness and permissiveness is associated with the Democratic Party." DLF: "Well, I guess we Democrats do get criticized for being overly concerned with sex, and you Republicans are overly concerned with money--and I don't know who gets the better side of that...." JPR: "You use the term 'domestic agenda,' and that's too political sounding. I'd say the American agenda, when a President walks in ... and talks about illegitimacy in a leadership way. When has President Bush tried to articulate that problem?"
