Drudge is headlining a
Washington Times article by that notorious right-wing hack, Bill Sammon, with the innocuous sounding lead: "Bush asks Clinton for foreign policy advice."
Ahhh, isn't that nice. What a nice guy bi-partisan guy Bush is.
Don't fall for it. It's subterfuge. There's poison in that article.
The entire of purpose of the article is so that Sammon could misrepresent Bill Clinton's position on Social Security. The key graf:
The president also praised one of Mr. Clinton's domestic policies -- trying to reform Social Security. Both men have proposed personal savings accounts as part of the solution, an idea that is vociferously opposed by congressional Democrats.
The way this is written repeats the out and out Republican lie that Clinton favored so-called "personal savings accounts." The reality: Clinton favored adding private accounts on top off the social security benefits which are already there. The Republicans are cynically using this position to pretend that Clinton supports the Bush-Rove plan to cut guaranteed benefits and put them into risky, speculative private investment accounts.
Sammon's piece is pure propaganda -- part of the Republican effort to pretend there's bipartisan support for the Bush-Rove plan to gut social security. It's not surprising that Drudge is headlining the article. Rove probably personally told him to do so.
Don't fall for it. And don't let anyone else fall for it either.
