Last night, snowed under up on the northern prairies, needing a little ol' timey feelgood, we watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington on TCM.
This morning I'm perusing my deadtree edition of the hometown paper, while it lasts, and a coupla thoughts occur. First, yesterday the front page featured a headline right out of the RNC Propaganda Playbook, courtesy the AP Washington bureau (yeh, I know, surprise, suuuurrrrrppprrrizzzzeee): "Is class warfare in plan?"
They don't even make a pretense of keepin' it on op-ed anymore.
And today, another teeny-tiny wee little article: Gregg aided base he invested in.
Yeh. Judd Gregg. Patron saint of santimonious flip-floppery. But, but, but, he broke no laws, he violated no Senate rules.....
That's the problem, now isn't it. And the sanctimony and hypocrisy play on.
Or as Gordonskene said over at C&L: Who ever said Politics was ethical? It's politics, fer chrissake!
