Blinkers, wingnuts, market fundamentalists, etc, etc.

Sorry guys, my heart’s not in it today.

Lefti, you make no sense. Not a surprise, given your sign-in name.

Michael, This is just what Reason should be doing — keeping Democrats and Republicans honest.

If that’s even his *REAL* name!

Anyone notice the developing attempt to paint Blago as “insane”, “delusional”, etc., thus casting a shadow of doubt over the very recordings used to indict him, and presumably others? It began with the late-night yuck-yuck shows–predictable wisecracks–but it seems to be evolving into a concerted strategy to discredit the very conversations and actions that could start the dominoes tumbling. Who do you suppose is behind this strategy?
