More flatulence from Safire

Boy, when William Safire emits gas, it really stinks. Check out what he said today in his column in the NY Times:

"...nobody gets away with trying to corrupt American elections."

Maybe we're missing the point and the operative words are "trying to." One can get away with corrupting an American election if one SUCCEEDS at it...
