If the Wall Street Journal likes Cass Sunstein ...

Perhaps real progressives should be wary of Obama tapping him to be administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. On its editorial page, the Journal calls him "a regulator with promise."

It then claims: "Sunstein, a professor at Harvard Law School, is no conservative -- far from it." Well, if by that, the Journalistas mean he's a wide-eyed 1960s radical, far from it. He's somewhere in the amorphous bounds of Democratic Party-neoliberalism and nothing else.

And, although the Journal wants to see him do battle with Carol Browner, my fear is that before that, he'll be doing tag-team work with Larry Summers.
