James Taranto,
writing in his Best of the Web column for the
Wall Street Journal online, is on a real roll today. He says:
We kept hearing during the Bush administration that dissent was "patriotic." Does anyone who said that then believe it now, when the other party is in power?
Taranto also repeats a quote attributed to President Harry S. Truman:
My choices early in life were either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.
And he quotes one Stormy Daniels, a porn star who is considering a career in politics:
Politics can't be any dirtier of a job than the one I am already in.
