Do you know why "no vietcong" ever called Cassius Clay the n-bomb? Because he was never around any vietcong. I'm guessing if Cassius ever met a real vietcong in the field, being called the n-bomb would be the least of his worries. And, by real vietcong I don't mean some perfumed envoy on the DC cocktail circuit.
I hear no Vietcong ever called W, Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle, Newt Gingrich, Phil Gramm, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Buchanan, Clarence Thomas, Geoge Will, Bill O'Reilly, William Kristol, and every other chickenhawk "crackers" either.
Don't forget your boy Bill Clinton........
BTW, Phil Gramm was a Democrat before the Reagan Revolution.
