Metaphors
January 21st, 2008One more irony — Hillary Clinton is running as a Bill Clinton while Barack Obama is trying to claim Ronald Reagan for himself. The problems here should be clear: Hillary is much more like Richard Nixon than she is like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama doesn’t belong in the same sentence. As Ronald Reagan. They’re actually both more comparable to Jimmy Carter than Ronald Reagan or Richard Nixon or James K. Polk, but who cares about historical comparisons besides the candidates with delusions of grandeur? But isn’t it an interesting note, as addendum to yesterday?
Not much else to report today, except that Phil Gramm is working for John McCain as an economics advisor. I hear he’s lobbying against porn taxes!
