 Westergaard  QUOTE OF THE DAY: 
 
 
   So Long As The
 "Issue" Is Attitude : 

 "As unsympathetic as reporters may be to the First Lady, they have, in a
 desperate search for news from her campaign, obscured the extent to which
 her remarks routinely drift off into a haze of good intentions. Mrs. Clinton
 brings to her public appearances a great deal of poise and seriousness of
 purpose, which, more than anything the actually says, is what the events
 tend to be about. This was the singular insight of the First Lady's
 unprecedented 'listening tour', during which she tried to elevate nodding
 into a kind of political philosophy: so long as the 'issue' is attitude, a
 politician doesn't have to say much of anything to make a point." _.. 

 Elizabeth Kolbert, The New Yorker, February 7, 2000.
