Harvard

Barone sucks up his thumb, and tries to come up with some plausible explanations. What says you?

Barone seems to have hit a word limit. Does he got to what he wanted to say or is it just his saying that the whole USA thought like Tecs: Tucker Max! Hey, he had good grades, so we should make him president!

Here's Kaus.

Taranto beats this horse dead.

Tecumseh said...

Yes, you're right -- looks like Barone stopped right when he was hitting his stride. Kaus is sharp: It can't be that this was a mistake Obama would have made if Kathleen Sebelius and Ken Salazar had been consulted--a mistake he would have made if Jim Fallows and Fareed Zakaria were installed in the West Wing... Calling on Tecs' fruit tank?

Tecumseh said...

Good grades are not enough: Tucker Max went to Chicago and Duke, on full scholarships. Ergo. Should be at least Governor by now, no?

Tecumseh said...

So Taranto found out about the Barone story without you telling him about it?

Mr roT said...

1) Tucker Max was governor of NYC, remember?
2) I didn't send it.

Kaus has updated. Obama is delusional:
Update: At least according to The Hill, Obama believed the Orszagist alchemy wouldn't just reduce the deficit in the long-term, but also revive the economy in the shorter term:
One senior Democratic senator said Emanuel was initially reluctant to push healthcare reform so early in Obama’s first term, counseling instead for the president to focus on jobs and the economy
But the president decided healthcare had to pass when he had a strong political mandate and the party controlled large majorities in both chambers.
Obama was convinced overhauling the nation’s healthcare system would boost the struggling economy by curbing costs and reducing the long-term federal deficit, say Democratic sources.


Now the HC"R" should be billed as the solution to incoming asteroids.
