Thank you God for collapsing the unpredictability of the future with your
unsurpassable foreknowledge of 21st century political-economic history. I
realize your programming me for undecidability/ignorance/free will was
needed to alleviate your insecurity that anyone may have notions that they
could experience the world in any way incommensurable with your divine
epistemology.

The person I first heard it from got it from Dick Morris' book, I 
think, but someone told me last night that Peter Edelman has been 
saying the same thing.

The New York Times, August 1, 1996, Thursday, Late Edition - Final 

THE WELFARE BILL: THE WHITE HOUSE;  
Clinton Recalls His Promise, Weighs History, and Decides 

By TODD S. PURDUM  

WASHINGTON, July 31 

When President Clinton and a dozen of his top advisers sat down in the
Cabinet Room to discuss the welfare bill this morning, everyone knew he
faced the biggest domestic decision of his Presidency. Though they were
prepared to close ranks behind him, the President's advisers knew this was
their last chance to be heard on an issue on which there was no middle
ground left. 

By turns they spoke and their leader listened. But as he often does, Mr.
Clinton ended the two-and-a-half-hour meeting without tipping his hand.
Instead, he repaired to the Oval Office with Vice President AL GORE, who
aides said ENCOURAGED THE PRESIDENT TO SIGN THE BILL, and his chief of
staff, Leon E. Panetta, who URGED A VETO. 

Hillary Rodham Clinton, a former board chairman of the Children's Defense
Fund, which has bitterly opposed the bill, was at the Olympics in Atlanta,
and her chief of staff, Maggie Williams, who usually represents her at such
gatherings, did not even attend the final meeting. 

The debate arrayed advisers like Mr. Panetta, George Stephanopoulos and
Harold M. Ickes, who favored branding the bill extreme, against Dick
Morris, the President's political adviser, Mr. Reed and Rahm Emmanuel, a
political aide who led the charge to sign it as a way of delivering on Mr.
Clinton's 1992 promise to "end welfare as we know it." 

In the meeting, MR. GORE AND MR. PANETTA, AS DE FACTO LEADERS OF THE
OPPOSING GROUPS, each refrained from comment, while others sitting around
the big oblong table in the Cabinet Room spoke in turn. The group included
Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin, Housing Secretary Henry G. Cisneros,
Commerce Secretary Mickey Kantor, Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich and the
head of the National Economic Council, Laura D'Andrea Tyson.

Ah. A clarifying comment on the meaning of "dork"...

I don't translate Gitlin to 'enemy.'  It just means
I expect less high-level guidance from him.  He's
welcome in my movement, just not in a leadership
capacity.

I've thought Todd Gitlin was a dork for a long time. But "all enemies 
on the right" does not a large movement make when you start with 3%...
