I love Jason Linkins

His Sunday Talking Heads synopsis on HuffPo is absolutely amazing. Here's one of my favorite paragraphs from today's column:

"Dan Rather says that the election in Massachusetts proved that the White House is "tone deaf," because the clearest symptom of tone-deafness is the existence of Martha Coakley, who wouldn't talk to votes and who didn't know what the "Red Sox" were. Katty Kay says that Obama promised to change the world of politics, and because we are still left with a Congress full of dicks and fools, that's totally his fault. WHY DIDN'T BARACK OBAMA USE HIS HEALING TOUCH TO TURN BEN NELSON INTO A SOLON AND CHUCK GRASSLEY INTO AN EISENHOWER AND ERIC MASSA INTO...well, something less lumpy and creepy and bad touchy."

Then there's this, describing Michael Steele on Meet the Press:
Anyway, Steele thought Obama was mean to the GOP, the way he only incorporated some of their views into laws, and stopped short of just letting Mitch McConnell write the health care reform bill in its entirety.

Steele says that the coming wave will "surprise a lot of people," bringing up an underreported election year issue, the "lot of people" currently trapped under rocks and heavy furniture without access to teeevees.

Even if I could type as fast as Jason, there's no way my brain could keep up.

Well done.

2. Thanks for reminding me

I used to read his column every week but I got out of the habit somewhere along the line.

It's so much easier to read about all the bullshit than to have to sit there and watch it and get angry.

BTW, what are we to make of your avatar? Are you a fan? Is it sarcasm?
