Raised by bumper stickers

Non-sequitur bumper sticker of the week: "When Clinton lied, no-one died." What I notice in this bumper sticker, besides the implicit faith in the Bush myth, is the total historical amnesia. To wit: I don't recall anyone dropping dead from the Watergate break-in, and yet we are all pretty much agreed that what would have been the inevitable Nixon impeachment and removal was deserved. Suggestion to the sticker owner: unless you're a secret Nixon booster, reconsider your standards for presidential conduct.

A better bumper sticker, seen recently: "Still mad at Yoko."
