Like elephants, Republicans remember everything. And, usually, they remember it wrong. They blame Roosevelt for the Depression. They think Johnson micromanaged Vietnam. They believe Ronald Reagan won the Cold War.
When Bill Clinton criticized a little-known activist/rapper whose stage name was Sistah Souljah, the right was placated. Now, that happened . . . in 1992. Some of those who voted for Barack Obama, voting in their very first election this past November, were still in diapers when that happened. Yet, David Ignatius manages to dredge it up yet again. In the process, he comes off sounding really stupid (wow, what a shock!).
Please stop, for the love of all that's holy.
