From John Cole

A great post, partly on the Ryan "Roadmap To Becoming a Banana Republic" and partly on the response from all those rich libertarians in Washington. (And have you noticed how there are no poor people espousing libertarianism?) It's a spin-off from this post by DougJ, and it starts like this:

DougJ:
What I don’t know for sure is if Brooks, Klein, Sullivan, etc. are cowardly careerist sociopaths, just plain stupid, or both.
Well, both, obviously, but I would add a couple more things- lazy, incurious, insulated, and well-rewarded for staying that way.

And then Cole proceeds to demonstrate.

Read both.
