What Were They Thinking?

By Bruce Bressack  4/2/2004  Boomers

Welcome to the 2004 edition of 'What Were They Thinking?'

Here's my top five, in descending order of 'deprecating-decadence'.

#5	"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
	........if you want to run the country into the ground
#4	"This election is about the future of this country."
	........or, it's about who's able to fool all the people, all of the time
#3	"It would set a dangerous precedent for me to speak in public, under oath, to a committee established by the Congress."
	........but, I'd be happy to tell you what I know, as long as I'm not accountable (and you don't ask me any really tough questions)
#2	"We can achieve a peaceful settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians."
	........eventually, maybe, but doubtful
#1	"The Iraqi people will greet us as liberators, and they will give us flowers."
	........eventually, maybe, but doubtful

I know it's a short list, but here's the challenge to you - send me your #1 "What Were They Thinking?" input, by April 14th, and I will publish the "best-of-the-best" in my April 15th column!  Fill out the form below, or send me an e-mail at bbressack@hippopress.com
