I have quoted from the WSJ on Mr. Jones--and the reporting, not the (Neanderthal) editorials or columns. You're welcome to look it up.

Sorry some Mudcatters don't like the quotes.

Exactly which of them do you disagree with?   Which of my points do you think Mr. Jones did not do?

It's painfully elementary political science. President Obama, like all presidents, has only so much political capital. I would think somebody who, for instance, supposedly has been teaching 19th century history for decades, might possibly have heard of the concept of political capital. The President is far too smart to waste his capital on somebody like Mr. Jones, who has dug himself an amazingly deep hole--especially since he (President Obama) has somewhat more important issues right now--reform of health care, to pick a purely theoretical example.


By the way, Greg, congratulations on hauling yourself out of the gutter, though you seem far more comfortable there. But by all means, feel free to slip back in, if it makes you more at ease. We want you to be happy.
