Every autumn in ”Peanuts,” Lucy promises to hold the football for Charlie Brown`s placekick; every year he believes it, although she has fooled him every time. Charlie Brown ought to be another Democrat in Congress-they believe everything the Russians say, although none of it has ever been true.

The Russians tell us, ”We shall remain in occupation of Afghanistan, but please believe that we are peaceful.” The Democrats believe. The Russians tell us, ”We shall continue to keep our people walled in and will shoot them if they try to leave, but believe that we are humane.” The Democrats believe. The Russians say, ”We shall continue to subvert Latin America and stir up revolution, but believe in our devotion to peaceful coexistence.” The Democrats believe.
