Sillykitty, I’m worried
SK has pestered me to reveal the secrets of occult mindcontrol, and I have protested my ignorance of such a category.
Anyway, SK, read this opening paragraph from Krugman today.
Sometimes it seems that the only way to make sense of the Bush administration is to imagine that it’s a vast experiment concocted by mad political scientists who want to see what happens if a nation systematically ignores everything we’ve learned over the past few centuries about how to make a modern government work.
I agree that it is very hard to grasp George Bush. And there is something very fishy about all this. The sheer speed with which great damage has been wrought on American democracy is almost unnerving. Krugman unwittingly (maybe not accurately, his statement is merely en passant, of course) puts his finger on the strangeness of Bush and his destructive, self-destructive, crypto-fascist style.
Sillykitty, from what you and I know about sufi hyenas, we have to ask, why would a figure in politics be exempt?
Don’t look at what he says and does, look at the net result over six years!
Weimar Germany was a democracy too.
Very worried, Sillykitty.
