'Not Since I Wrote the Gettysburg Address ...'
The nation's oldest windbag, Gore Vidal, has solemnly sworn that tomorrow's election is the most important in his lifetime.
More important than Lincoln's election in 1860? More crucial than the Jefferson-Burr race of 1800? Jesus, this is sounding serious . What say ye, good patriot?
So, my fellow countrymen, as I sit here, not yet at Gettysburg, I have a notion that this is the most important vote that you'll probably ever cast. Because should this gang of thugs continue in the two houses of Congress, there isn't any chance of getting the Constitution back.
This should totally invigorate the Whigs.
