for once I am NOT going to offer a lot of words of my own.
The column, titledBridge Over Troubled Politics, speaks for itself.
Here is the conclusion:
Republicans around the nation are going to be brought up short by an idea of a plot to screw up our constitutional right to drive to work. Among the great political divides in this country is mass transit versus cars, and Republicans tend to be rather hostile toward the former. (Driving is individualistic; buses are communal. Driving is the wide open spaces; trains are sort of France.)
Also, they’re going to wonder if we really need more people in Washington with no sense of discretion when it comes to the stuff they say on the Internet. Or who suffer from serious problems with proportionality. The governor won re-election with more than 60 percent of the vote. Obsessing over one Democratic mayor’s failure to jump on board is right up there with Martha Stewart’s attempt to save her financial empire $45,000 through a gambit that netted her five months in prison.
I am really looking forward to hearing all this discussed in the Florida primary.
Go read the whole thing.
You will be glad you did.
