I think you're both being much too kind to a frat boy fronting a bunch of over-dressed mobsters. While
presidential politics have been an embarrassment for as long as I can remember, this new crowd of "pro-business" goons and their lackeys and backers make me pine for an uncut hack and cigarboy like Lyndon Johnson.

For instance: the positing of John Negroponte, a man best-known internationally for his oversight and support of the Honduran death squads (see www.cdi.org) as Ambassador to the UN; or the weakened
Clean Water Act; or the appointment of drug-tainted bullyboy Richard Armitage as Assistant Secretary of State; or...
