I think Bill Bennett's finally, totally losing it...
Edited on Sat Oct-01-05 11:22 AM by dave123williams
He's the guy with the major gambling problem that writes books about virtue, right?

BENNETT: Let me just tell you, when it comes to abortion, my wife's program, Best Friends, has kept more young women from having abortions because they don't get pregnant because they take her good counsel...

HANNITY: Let me...

BENNETT: Than the entire black caucus. She has done more for inner city black girls than the entire black caucus. So I will not bow my head to any of these people.

His views are mainstream in the Republican Party.

4. I'm glad you posted this! That program looks specious.
I blogged about this today (link in sig line). I can't find any evidence of this program meeting the OMB requirements for program evaluation or even the annual evaluation report, itself.

I've alerted my Representative (E. Cummings). He's CBC, you know.

8. Another Freudian slip showing what's on Bennett's sick mind: GENOCIDE,
refusing to acknowledge Black legislators' struggle for their people's best interests, not "bowing" to "these people"... Isn't this kind racism an official mental illness, according to medical diagnostic manuals?

7. I saw an interview on my local news.......
yesterday and at the end of it Bennett said everyone that is complaing about what he said owes him an apology.

The guy's mind is gone.

11. "these people"
Edited on Sat Oct-01-05 07:07 PM by susu369
I always cringe whenever I hear those words - used by obviously haughty creeps:

"So I will not bow my head to any of these people"

12. Bill, you need to control yourself.
If you just stop talking and go away, you won't hurt yourself anymore.

13. The fact he bragged he dated Janis Joplin, yet became drug czar, shows
he is a self-absorbed, attention starved, idiot. He will do or say whatever it takes to be talked about.
