Former presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush will serve as honorary chairmen of a new center at the University of Arizona that will focus on civility in political debate, university officials will announce Monday.What a useless waste of money. Our country is not lacking in civil discourse, it's lacking in politicians with the principles and determination to do what's right for America even if some people's feelings get hurt. Gov. Scott Walker and Gov. Chris Christie are good examples of the kind of leadership we need. The collection of milquetoast politicians and talking heads that will be running this organization talk much and accomplish little. But at least they feel good doing nothing.
The National Institute for Civil Discourse - a nonpartisan center for debate, research, education and policy about civility in public discourse - will open Monday in Tucson. It was created in the aftermath of the Jan. 8 shootings in the city where six people were killed and 13 injured, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).
Former Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor and former Senate majority leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) will serve as honorary co-chairmen. Board members will include former secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright; Kenneth M. Duberstein, chief of staff to President Ronald Reagan; Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren; Trey Grayson, director of Harvard University's Institute of Politics; and former representative Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.).
Completely meaningless.

Analysis at the end is correct...the title apt. This will be an assemblage of moderates who can waffle from one side of an issue to the other at ease.
