Portnoy's lament

The Republicans will have no such compunctions about the fairness of launching personal attacks against a potentially vulnerable Democratic candidate. Hmmm... I wish. In this respect this Presidential contest may again manifest the tragedy of left-wing politics through the ages. Parties which care more about fairness than about power, end up achieving neither. What is it with all these whiny pinko Brits? They've run out of rum, or something? Give them the lash.
