Making poop noises in public

A Public Dump


CNN’s Gloria Borger: “[House Budget Chairman Paul] Ryan became popular by pushing the unpopular, things like killing his colleague’s pork projects, or trying to revamp Social Security, and eventually change Medicare into a program of vouchers for private insurers....”

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman: “To be a little melodramatic, the voucher would kill people, no question....The cuts in Medicare that he’s proposing, the replacement of Medicare by a voucher system, would in the end mean that tens of millions of older Americans would not be able to afford essential health care. So that counts as cruelty to me.”


— From a profile of Ryan that aired on CNN’s Stories: Reporter, September 25.

Having had a fair amount of dealings with GloBo in my time at USNews (when it was still a magazine), I can speak with a high degree of confidence that she isn't nearly as smart as she thinks she is. She has managed to translate access to policymakers into a career in punditry. But do not look her way for original thought or intelligent analysis.
