Gene Lyons triple underscores a basic fact of governance: Government ineptitute is far more dangerous to progressive leadership than to conservatives.
Of course, below Obama's level, Lyons' column kind of glosses over how Rahm Emanuel, with the tacit connivance of Nancy Pelosi, saddled House Dems with not just moderates, or even moderate conservatives, but some downright conservative Democrats. Who knows? If the GOP doesn't cave to the tea partiers, a few more may switch.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
