Bobert,

The issue of Clinton "balancing the budget" was not brought up by pdq. Not having been brought up by pdq, neither was it brought up for the sake of "pulling his (political) pants back up".

The chart offered by pdq proves (quite elegantly) the point he was making -- that the National debt still went up during the Clinton years. He said nothing else. Maybe it is admirable that the Gingrich House came closer to balancing the budget than the Wright House -- but that is not the point that pdq was making, so you'll have to forgive him that he chose not to make that point in addition to the discussion in which we were already engaged.

Oh, and did pdq mention having voted for Bush? If he did, I missed that. oh.......that's right......."Bushite" is a catch-all for anyone with whom you disagree.......kinda like calling someone a "doodyhead".
