Loyalty: Rest in Peace

Forget the polar bear- I'll tell you something that really is endangered: loyalty.

I fear that loyalty in American politics is about to vanish completely. A case in point: Bill and Hillary Clinton who brought the Democrat Party back to life after slipping into a near fatal Reagan-induced coma. What kind of loyalty do they now get from the Party they've bolstered and funded for decades? The invisible kind.

Another case in point: Scott McClellan. Bush hires him despite an obvious lack of skill. He's given the chance of a lifetime and what kind of loyalty does he show? The nonexistent kind.

The saddest part is that the absence of loyalty is becoming the expected state of affairs.

In conclusion I must offer a personal apology. There is much about the Clintons I disdain, but they are real people who, like it or not, have significance. I do apologize for elevating the meaningless little worm that is Scott McClellan to their level.
