Anyone running for public office or being appointed to a position in the government should be made to take a memory test. Too many are getting away with “I don’t remember.” Imagine (Karl) Rove not remembering a conversation in which he tried to discredit a man for telling the truth! And recently on TV, I heard (Condoleezza) Rice recounting story after story about her childhood, but she couldn’t remember an important meeting that took place a few months ago! And as for (President) Reagan...
These “deals” seem to be limited to Republicans, otherwise, I’m sure (President) Clinton would have said, “Oops, I did? Thanks for reminding me.”
