The Dispatch and Argus newspaper, page C-1, 3-1-13
When we read the named article at left in today’s Dispatch and Argus we were not sure if we had inadvertently picked up a copy of The Onion, famous for its tongue-in-cheek even off the wall parodies. But we double checked and sure enough it was the good old D-A we had in our hands.
We have to think that either 1) there is no one at the Dispatch and Argus old enough to remember the Clinton scandals and impeachment, 2) an editor was involved with a total lack of irony while being a total Clintonphile, or, 3) the editor was just as incredulous as we are and figured everyone else would be as well, no further comment necessary. We scanned the article to post because we could not find it in the online version to link to. The operative words read:
Foundation officials said the prize is for individuals who have strength of character, individual conscience and a commitment to democracy.
That is right, the reference is to America’s only impeached and disbarred President in modern times. Charges included obstruction of justice matters. The Monica Lewinsky thing he admitted to. Oh well. Next thing you know Obama will get the Nobel Peace Prize for his lifetime commitment to international peace.
