Well, appointing unqualified hacks wouldn't be a new thing for the Senate

It's been a long time hasn't it? Mmmmm, dig.

Are Bill Bennett's comments anti-sport and anti-rich, because aborting black babies reduces the number of overpaid, professional black atheletes?

I thought it was the Supreme Court's job to appoint unqualified hacks,

Krugman would probably server the country better as an appointee rather than a politician.

I thought it was the Supreme Court's job to appoint unqualified hacks,

And then that unqualified hack appoints other unqualified hacks to key positions.

Krugman might be OK.

But let me suggest another Princeton academic who's actually a politician.

Rush Holt.

Well, perhaps he could be an appointed politician with a mandate of one, like Bush.
ronjazz, troll resistant | 10.01.05 - 12:31 am | #

Bush's appointments do point to treason on his part, as anyone can plainly see that he hates America and Americans. He almost got away with it, but his incompetence was framed by 9/11 and Katrina, as well as the disastrous handling of energy "policy" and the economy. Consumer confidence at a 25-year low, and heating prices about to freeze a few more poor folks to death this coming season. Those Bushes are damn good at killing people, even if they won't serve in Iraq. Or Viet Nam.

Gary, enlisted yet?

Naw, he'd be in basic training with no access to candy bars or internet.

Gary,

FYI, ya know

Krugman: Intellectually elite(ie. competent). It would never work in a red state, but hey, Jersey's pretty cool.

Cheetos!

I was goint to suggest the same thing, SWR!

Holt's an academic from Princeton's plasma physics lab (nuclear fusion). He is very interested in alternative energy issues. He led the House work on voting machine issue. Plus, he took part in Princeton's Frist filibuster!
Mr Upright | 10.01.05 - 9:04 am | #

I love Krugman, don't get me wrong.

But Rush Holt should be the next Democratic senator from New Jersey.

Why did you change from the "America = Hitler and Stalin" theme?

It worked so well for you Atrios.

Why did you change from the "America = Hitler and Stalin" theme?

I have told you repeatedly to lay off the hallucinogenic drugs. They're bad for you.
