Mitch Pearlstein has a hilarious little quiz in the Strib today: eleven quotes by presidential candidates about change. From Bush to Obama to Nixon to Kennedy, you can't tell them apart.
Examples:
2. "My fellow Americans, something new, something different has happened. It is the end of an era and the beginning of a new day."
8. "This nation is daring and decent and ready for change... My fellow citizens, we can begin again."
Same message? The first is from Hubert Humphrey in 1968 - the second is GW Bush in 2000.
The more things change...
