Assinine Comment?One day Clare Boothe Luce, a Republican, was asked by a journalist for her comments regarding a certain Republican senator's switch to the Democratic party.
"Whenever a Republican leaves one side of the aisle and goes to the other," she wryly replied, "it raises the intelligence quotient of both parties."
