I thought it was important to remind him he's now conducting the two wars he's inherited.

Two Wrongs Make Another Fiasco — THOSE of us who love F. Scott Fitzgerald must acknowledge that he did get one big thing wrong. There are second acts in American lives. (Just ask Marion Barry, or William Shatner.) The real question is whether everyone deserves a second act.
