Bill Kristol Should Rent Pee Wee's Playhouse

Having controlled the executive branch for 28 of the last 40 years, Republicans tend to think of themselves as the governing party — with some of the arrogance and narrowness that implies, but also with a sense of real-world responsibility. Many Democrats, on the other hand, no long even try to imagine what action and responsibility are like. They do, however, enjoy the support of many refined people who snigger at the sometimes inept and ungraceful ways of the Republicans. (And, if I may say so, the quality of thought of the Democrats’ academic and media supporters — a permanent and, as it were, pensioned opposition — seems to me to have deteriorated as Orwell would have predicted.)

Boy, I'm glad you could decipher that. I'm way to stupid to know what the fuck he was talking about - and since it was Kristol speaking, I just assumed it was wrong.

I suggest we all keep a jaundiced eye peeled for the eventual unravelling of J. P. Morgan's current $96-trillion "exposure" to "off-balance" derivatives . . . "meck-a-leck-a-heiny-ho," etc.
