This is one of the best written hatchet jobs I’ve read in a while, and a pretty scathing critique of American politics.

[Christine O’Donnel] is what politics produces when you divorce politics from government. She is what you get when you sell to the country that nothing government can do will help, and that the government is an alien thing, and that politics is nothing more than the active public display of impotent grievance.

Christine O’Donnell, a Tea Party moron, beat a fairly entrenched GOP candidate to win the party’s senate nomination.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
