was daring journalists to dig up dirt on him.
He would have been a superb President and would have led this country with dignity and honour. Unfortunately, our prurient yet prudish culture will not forgive him.
If only Hart was in office when Al Queda started lifting its ugly head.
and when I think about that I wonder whether he would have been a good president or not. I like his pugnacious attitude – you can bet that Atwater, Ailes and company would not have been able to kick him around like they did with Dukakis – but the whole “monkey business” affair showed that his instincts weren’t the best.
Nonetheless, he’s a great spokesman and thinker. Too bad this probably won’t get much attention.
as long as the intellect is there for balance.
He makes the fatal error of thinking he knows more than he does, much more.
Of all the politicians who’ve run for president during the last 50 years, I’d say Hart was the least qualified and did more to prove it in his retirement than any of the presidential wannabees.
I’ve never read anything he’s written or listened to anything he’s said and felt that he made any sense.
The guy has been a laughingstock for so long.
He belongs on a lefty blog, that’s for sure. He’ll feel right at home.
Hart’s analysis of where the US is now and what the road ahead could hold is well done. Stronger than most others, D’s and R’s.
Just for fun, you think Hart was less qualified than Kucinich or Nader? What about
You should read his 2001 report from the Hart-Rudman commission. It’s the definitive treatise on how to deal with terrorism in the 21st Century, and it’s much more than tragic that President Bush dismissed it without reading it.
In addition, Gary Hart has also written several political thrillers under the psuedonym John Blackthorn that have been successful.
I’ve seen him interviewed several times in the last year, and former Senator Hart is humble but frustrated, and always intelligent and articulate.
This letter strikes me as left talking points in slightly nicer wording. Kind of like Lamborn’s attempt at a letter, but without the nicer wording.
I haven’t followed Hart a lot, but this letter seems pretty underwhelming considering how close he supposedly came to being president.
Also, I take issue with the assertion earlier that Hart’s only mistake was daring the media to keep tabs on him. Should we have pretended that he wasn’t engaging in “monkey business”? Why should character flaws be overlooked?
