Is the fall of all these op-ed columnists who have focused first on Herman Cain and now on Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
Of course Romney will fall again and Gingrich crash and burn. It's in the stars, it's destiny and the Fury of the Fates. Mazel Tov! Thank Buddha!
After all these months of saying nothing at all about the man, how in the world will they be able to recover their ink wells fast enough to get words out there?
They don't even know the guy.
Just imagine how much fun that's going to be to watch.
"...Things turn out for Barack Obama. They always have and it seems they always will.
Shall we start with the latest unemployment numbers? At 8.6 percent, the jobless rate is lower than it has been in two and a half years and is heading in the right direction. Lots of people are still out of work and they will continue to be because the problem is structural, but the economy is improving and there is nearly a year until the presidential election — time for a new reality to overcome the old perception. Amazingly, the United States is about to become a net exporter of petroleum products. The last time this happened was 1949, which was 12 years before Obama was born. Talk about luck!
Two of the great American auto companies have survived their close call with going belly-up and now are making money. Along with the financial system, they were saved by government programs that Republicans characterize as pretty close to neo-Stalinist. Call them what you may, they worked. Jobs were saved. You got a problem with that?
The war in Iraq, George W. Bush’s own stimulus program, is coming to an end, and the war in Afghanistan is winding down. Osama bin Laden is totally dead, his ranks vastly reduced by drones. And while the Middle East policy has been something of a mess, even the Israelis have come around on Obama: A majority now have a favorable view of him. Mazel tov!
Some of this is the vagaries of fortune and some the bounty of good policy. But Obama’s most astounding bit of good luck is the motley crew of opponents the Republican Party has coughed up. It is simply amazing that in a country of 313 million people, many of them literate, the political opposition consists of ignoramuses, dimwits, contrarians, Christian jihadists and, now, two men so thoroughly hollow that a moral principle would make a rattling sound inside them. I am talking of course of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. (I don’t know how to categorize Jon Huntsman and neither, it seems, does the Republican Party.)...."
