All hail the King of the policy wonks.

[RobbyS]

Indeed.

CINO’s are Catholics in Name Only. You're either a conservative or you're not.

I have no beef with Sarah Palin, in fact I think quite highly of the woman. But I think its a little ridiculous that any comment critical of her is met with a sort of scorched earth policy aimed at the person making the comment. I happen to like Sara but I think Charles is a bright man and undeserving of this editorial and the comments that follow.

[old curmudgeon]

Quite often when I watch the talking heads and their criticism of those whom they do not consider to be as cerebral as themselves, I am reminded of an ad that used to run on TV.

I can't remember what they were selling, but the ad consisted of three guys eating in a restaurant. Near them were two tables, each occupied by a single diner.

The diner at one of the tables choked on his food. He was really in serious danger of choking to death.

The three geniuses were trying to decide what to do about it. One of them suggested hitting him on the back, one suggested the Heimlich maneuver and the third had some other suggestion.

All the while the guy choking was getting in worse shape.

The diner at the third table, without saying a word, got up, walked over to the stricken diner and performed the Heimlich on him and then calmly returned to his table and resumed eating his meal.

The three cerebral types were still arguing over the correct method.

What we need in the White House is a person who has the common sense to take the right action and to do so promptly. Leave the debating of the finer points to the Krauthammers, George Will and the like.

Eliminating every level of bureacracy will bring forth legions of government employees to do battle with any politician attempting to cut the size of government, and in every battle they will be served by elitists like Krauthammer who will argue that it would be better to just change… policy.

Not to mentions the fact that a huge portion of federal employees are union members and the unions give hundreds of millions of dollars to Rats.

Crankhammar and O’Really appear to be 5th columnists.. in deep cover..
First they touted McLame(2008) and now Romney(2012)..

[bwc2221]

Excellent column.

I am shocked at the way some FReepers worship at Krathammer’s feet.

A few weeks ago one FReeper wrote that if Krathammer disagreed with him on anything, it would cause him to rethink his position. Unbelievable!

[hope]

dude is definately crippled due to his past....still trying to find a word for it....

[DTogo]

We have all the “policy” we need in the Constitution.

[3boysdad]

Charles is no Rush. Who cares what he pontificates.

[Bullish]

One hour of Rush is better then a years worth of Krauti’s snobbish snootiness.

[Mach9]

Perfect analogy. Although the syndrome’s so rampant at the moment that I wonder if the sabotage is as unintentional.

[bvw]

Wow. Great analogy. The Colonel Jellybean March (aka Colonel Bogey March) was my wedding march.
