Guys like this really make me appreciate George Will. (A far superior writer and mind.)

An absolute apologist for almost everything the dubya administration did. . .without question the gentleman in question has skill with the language but in the beltway he's read mostly for unintentional humor in an attempt to discern the intelligentsia's attempt to explain why everything under sun during the last 8 years have been just fine and hunky-dory. . .

I give him some credit for raising solid questions concerning the bailout- but where was one-tenth this investigative quality and desire when his cronies were running things? One of the most obvious shrills in a major newspaper.

He lays it out far better than I can.

One of a small handful of columnists I look forward to reading;a psychiatrist by profession who ain't a shrink.
