Reply #4: It's gonna be a fight? You're KIDDING me! [View All]

Yes, gloom and doom, sturm und drang, woe is us. Boo hoo.

Why is it every podium pundit thinks they are delivering the words of the Prophets by incessantly intoning what an uphill battle Dean faces to unseat the smirking child? Is this really news?

Saletan is a maggot. His pieces aren't usually worth the hard drive space thay are saved on. This is no different. From the lofty offices of Salon comes another stone-tablet inscribed missive on what awaits Dean; and we, the fearful yet hungry slaves, are eagerly trying to hide the golden calf from his eyes as we pretend to be wowed and enlightened.

Yes, William, we know that Dean has made statements in the past that will be a challenge to defend. Welcome to politics. But you have to ask yourself, does William Saletan know more than the unions themselves? Is he blessed with some form of superior politikunde that is so far above the grasp of the leaders of two of the biggest unions in the US, that they need to listen up and reconsider endorsing Dean?

How DID we ever get along before William Saletan was around to tell us how to live?
