...Chinese arms dealers and the after-hours frolics in the Oval Office. Nor will I miss the policies, from the self-righteous "gays in the military" gambit, to Hillary's baggy monster of a health care plan, to Clinton's recklessly risk-averse foreign policy, which conducted cowardly "virtual wars" from the skies above Belgrade and Baghdad, while coddling a tinpot dictator in Pyongyang and a collection of tyrants in Beijing. Nor, finally, will I miss the hangers-on and toadies who filled the Clinton White House, and who increasingly came to resemble a dysfunctional mob family--the Corleones...
...prep school to choose the hard right over the easy wrong, which is a good lesson, assuming it's easy to tell those apart. He knows he won the national popular vote, but under the Constitution, that does not matter. He believes he won Florida as well, but his virtual victory slipped through his hands and broke into tiny pieces, which he was desperately trying to paste together by hand and by law.

...phrase: "complete hand counts already begun in Palm Beach County, Dade County and Broward County." This was a virtual fib - apart from some exploratory counts in a couple of precincts, Palm Beach isn't counting yet; Dade declined to start; and Broward was forced into it by the Democrats. But "already begun" was worth the risk, because it makes Bush sound like he wants to silence something "the people" have already started. And Gore closed it with exactly the words all Americans want to hear: "I would also be willing to abide by that result and agree not to take...
