Constitution Dead comment:

It can be argued that the world leader that Bush most resembled and that most resembled Bush during their moment as leaders of their respective nations was Tony Blair. They were united in principle, worldview, and in their resolute devotion to defending civilization and serving a higher power. I was reading Jen's post and asking myself which world leader Obama most resembles and most resembles Obama. There are only two obvious candidates: José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías. I ultimately settled on Chávez as the closer match, for his contempt for the United States and his extra-contitutional power grabs. It's an interesting exercise. Reagan-Thatcher. Bush père-Major. Clinton-Mitterand, Bush fils-Blair. Obama-Chávez.

Hell, I was going to post what Krauthammer's said in the past few hours, but I couldn't keep my eyes from tearing up enough to set the link.

NRO has his incredible and impenetrable gloom on at the Corner.

It ain't that we have lost Panglossism. It's that we have lost fundamental hope. It's a world of swirling red and brown, and the other pepean versions of the primary colors.

Green, too. Like the watermelon parable: green on the outside, red on the inside. An old Romanian saying, fer sure.
