That WP piece smacks of a right-wing ideologue straining to find good things to say about a crooked right-wing dictator with plenty of blood on his hands. It borders on the bizarre.<BR/><BR/>Mike's point about the "good for the economy" line of thinking is spot on. But take one step back from that and what do you see? Kudos for an anything-to-win tyrant and an anything-to-win economic philosophy, that's what.<BR/><BR/>Certain parallels in all this with The Decider are painfully apparent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1166036367876100952006-12-13T13:59:00.000-05:002006-12-13T13:59:00.000-05:00Your basic point is solid -- the media and politic...Your basic point is solid -- the media and politicians have not only been fixated on economic issues above all else, but on a skewed vision of economic issues. <BR/><BR/>It's solely focused on the stock market and GDPs, but never on what life's like for most folks outside of the seven-figure income range.

I think for those of us on the left, as well as on the right, the election snapped something, and dialogue long-since relegated to the sidelines is back in the game.<BR/><BR/>Ok, no snark, but that was an awwwwwwwwwwwwwwful anology. I'm so ashamed.<BR/><BR/>(No I'm not, but it really does suck.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
