neo-liberal anarchists to the left...
neo-fascist demagogues to right...
neo-isolationist crackpots wait right here."
- "Mr. Chairman, the great state of confusion casts all its votes for H. George Robertson."
- "You've got to see this! The Buchanan people have just built a 15 foot fence around the New Mexico delegation."
- "Okay, Mr. Perot, let's do another take. Remember, your line is 'Yo quiero Taco Bell'."
