Quote from Springsteen:"Every adult was brought up on fairy tales so..."

The January 2006 issue of Mojo has a fantastic interview with Bruce Springsteen.

Here's a great quote:

... We forget that every adult was brought up on fairy tales so it's natural to go on and, politically for example, want to believe that your President is a nice, honest man. The inability to turn to an adult perspective once you get to the age where you have some political weight is a great tragedy, and this is a period of history when it seems the most obvious type of disguise is on display to the entire world and yet those are the people who are still in power.

1. Remember when they promoted Bush as honest and unlike Clinton?

and now they say "Of course he's going to lie!" and "Clinton did it, too!"

2. Duh, Clinton lied

He lied about getting a friggin blowjob. What married man having an affair isn't going to lie about that? That's a lot different than lying about other countries in order to start a war. It's a lot different than lying about spying on American citizens without a warrant!
