The Washington Post has sucked Ezra’s brains out with a straw.

More a device more on the order of a 0.2ul micro-pipette! Lets not imagine Ezra has been overly blessed.

Obama doesn’t seem to have any sense of his power, and Hillary certainly would have. You’ve got two centrist-corporatists, basically. But one is capable of getting angry and showing it, and maybe even ACTING on it, while the other seems like the opposite. So with reluctance and even shock at myself, I’m starting to wish Hillary had been elected. Even if she didn’t do as much as we’d like, we wouldn’t have to endure the spectacle of Mr. Nothing Phases Me and So Nothing Gets Done.</p> Well, in a way — horrifying as it is to actually say — I’m with cregan on this one.
