"I Am Often Booed Because of Who My Friends Are"
--title of the very first chapter of Peggy Noonan's What I Saw at The Revolution

Lest you think that Republican whining about other people's responsibility for one's own acts as a public figure and employee of the taxpayers went out of fashion with Nixon and came back only when Trent had his tantrum.

(Sorry, Peggy, you're wrong -- you are often booed because of what you've done and because of the people you've chosen to do it for.)
