Frank Bruni On His Clinton Apology Piece
On Sunday I excerpted a few paragraphs from Frank Bruni’s New York Times column in which he demanded that Bill Clinton apologize from his role in the passage of DOMA.

“We are disappointed by the ruling but very pleased that the temporary delay in implementing this important law applies only to the three plaintiffs who brought this lawsuit.

“Let’s stop the insanity by suspending the right to vote of any American who is on welfare. Once they get off welfare and are self-sustaining, they get their right to vote restored. No American on welfare should have the right to vote for tax increases on those Americans who are working and paying taxes to support them. That’s insane. In …
