Hmm, this looks worse for Clinton than it does for Bush. Why the fuck weren't the ANC removed back in the 90's?

Let's see: the Black Panthers, Hezbollah, Hamas...

Is this the end-of-term ass-kissing that we typically see?

Whenever I think humans can't sink any lower, I'm reminded of Mandela. The very best of the human race. Peace be to Mandela!
