Best Snark of the Weekend.

I love the impromptu, thinking-on-your-feet style of discourse taking place during the Jobless Recovery Roundtable on This Week with Christiane Amanpour:

George Will:
Now: Rangel has a weak position ... a weak case, but a strong position. His strong position is the President and everyone wants this thing over with so the Democrats won't be tarred with this, and therefore, he can hold out for some minor reprimand -- indeed a reprimand, technically -- just to liquidate this and get out of here."

Paul Krugman:
"In a way, he's sort of the Hamid Karzai of the U.S. Congress."

Zing! (went the strings of my heart).

It's the interconnectedness of all these issues that we'll be having more and more fun with in the coming years, I think. The wars, the stagnating economy, the tendency for corruption to grow as Government grows, the growing income gap between those supporting the State programs, and those being supported by the State.


"... the Hamid Karzai of the U.S. Congress."

Heh. Keep 'em coming. Intelligent humor is at such a premium in these non-thinking days...
