When a card carrying Boot Strapper like Tony advocates sink or swim health care
policies, I get it. His every-man-for-himself political philosophy is morally
offensive and sociopathic by definition, but at least it represents an intellectually
honest position.

Lately it’s Matt’s sticky, bloodless pragmatism that truly offends. There is
shamefully nothing that Matt, Mister “forty yard line” Miller advocates that is
worth fighting for - -it’s all just a prattling, wonkish wash of political white bread
served up on an inexplicably condescending platter. Matt, I guess once a
bureaucratic minion, always a bureaucratic minion, eh?

But cheers to Robert Scheer for completely destroying Tony and Matt on the iPod
thing. Rarely has there been such a clear victory on L,R,&C.
