"the world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel" Horace Walpole

the pundit class

They really do think alike. Two examples:

Issue: Hillary for Secretary of State
The consensus: It’s reminiscent of Lincoln, who appointed a “team of rivals” to his Cabinet. (Pundits like to appear well-read and well-versed in history.)
What was overlooked: William Seward’s spouse never raisied money from Confederate generals.
The exception: Fox’s Juan Williams asked, “How do you fire Hillary?” Good point.

Issue Two: Obama’s First 100 Days
The consensus: Obama needs to “hit the ground running.”
What was overlooked: The economy is in crisis. Prudence is called for, not bold new initiatives. We can’t afford big mistakes.

Worst pundits (tie): Fred Barnes (Fox), Hillary Rosen (CNN), otherwise known as GOP strategist Fred Barnes and Democratic Party strategist Hillary Rosen. (Added disdain for Rosen, formerly chairwoman of the soulless Recording Industry Association of America.)

    Now Juan Williams is pragmatic. Certainly Obama won’t follow through on this. Dick Morris accused Hillary of leaking this.

    I still don’t get all the Clinton hacks coming back 31 of 47 sure as shit isn’t change you can believe in. If Hillary is Sec of State then Obama truly is Jimmy Carter Junior.

    Of course when you support tax hikes for justice, yet live in a multi-million dollar home yourself you are a democrat.

    Prudence i.e. “don’t just do something, stand there!”

    Sopu8nds stupid, but it works often and well.

  3. Wait, you didn’t like “Rebel-in-Chief?” I didn’t either.
