In response to Mr. Benedetto's recent call for more civility from our Public Officials, may I just take a moment to remind him (and the "fact checkers" at USA Today) that worse things were said repeatedly, in public, on the Senate Floor, in the House and even in this very paper by Republicans about President Clinton, his wife and even his daughter.

Like most bullies, Mr. Benedetto and the Republican Party can sure dish it out in shockingly vicious style, but, once they get slapped back, they blubber endlessly about the end of civility and good manners.

Fortunately, most Americans are waking up to the absurdity of this line of thinking and are beginning to see the Republican cry babies for who they really are: big, blubbering bullies.
