If there's one thing worse than watching an ambitious young pundit overreach in trying to make a name for himself, it's the more seasoned pundit who jets in* to sum up the election results; quickly take the pulse of the people; declare the American Dream dying, if not dead; and then to mock John Boehner for working his way up, the second eldest of 11...

Boehner’s American Dreamland remains a potent idea. Obama got on the wrong side of it. But it’s also la-la land.

Shed a tear, John.

Have a swell flight back, Mr. Cohen. Enjoy wintertime in England! And don't waste too much time worrying about us, back on the American Beat here. ;-)

We'll keep ya posted on what you're missing...
