[Dennis Hastert] “the large, shambling galoot who is House speaker now, Tom DeLay's enabler for years, . . . is about as smart as most high school wrestling coaches. [Hastert] has been two heartbeats from the presidency. . . He has succeeded in turning Congress into a branch of the executive branch.. . . .The iPod was not developed by Baptists in Waco, Texas. There may be a reason for this. Creative People thrive in a climate of openness and tolerance, since some great ideas start out sounding ridiculous. Creativity is a key to economic progress.
Authoritarianism is stifling.. . .When the cultural Sturmbannfuhrers try to marshal everyone into straight lines, it has consequences for the economic future of this country.
Meanwhile, the Current Occupant goes on impersonating a president. . . . Five years in office and he doesn't have a grip on it yet. . . .one of the basic assumptions of American culture is falling apart: the competence of Republicans.You might not have always liked Republicans, but you could count on them to manage the bank. They might be lousy tippers, act snooty, talk through their noses, wear spats and splash mud on you as they race their Pierce-Arrows through the village, but you knew they could do the math.”
Note to Republicans: The party's over Ineptness has ruined the GOP by Garrison Keillor in the Chicago Tribune
