"Most everyone knows it isn't a good bill, and knows that its failure to receive a single Republican vote, not one, suggests the old battle lines are hardening. Back to the Crips versus the Bloods. Not very inspiring."--
Peggy Noonan, letting us know that Obama, like all stage hypnotists, must have
willing subjects to achieve the proper effect, which he ain't finding at
The Wall Street Journal.
Noonan adds a couple of paragraphs that
TMR thinks are just brilliant; reminding us why we started this blog and all the stupid and ugly con artists we've met along the way - starting with the self-serving beliefs of Karine Anne Brunck and "Dr." Robert Wohlfahrt (notice the comparison to Blago and Idi Amin) - who have consumed so much of America's time, only to repeatedly destroy it with lies. Those of us who never bought into NewAge can feel that, in some way, it's really over - that though we lost that last battle - we have finally won the war. Here's Noonan:
"There's a sense among many,...a feeling part Puritan, part mystic and obscurely guilty, that some bill is coming due. Hard to get a stimulus package that addresses that. (The guilt was part of the power of Blago. He's the last American who doesn't feel guilt. He thinks something is moral because he did it. He's like a good-natured Idi Amin, up there yammering about how he's a poor boy who only wanted to protect the people of Chicago from the flu. You wish you could believe it! You wish he really were what he is in his imagination, a hero battling dark forces against the odds.)"TMR likes Blago, but he's part of Obama's crew,...almost the last Baby Boomer. And, like Obama and Nancy Pelosi, you can't believe a word he says. We know that now. We know it about all these people.
Act accordingly.
"I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived. I saw it all growing up."
