Whining about the whiners being called whiners

Right Wing Nut House » THE CONSERVATIVE’S SHAMEFUL DEFENSE OF GRAMM
That is easily the weirdest Rick Moran post I’ve ever read. Lots of bobbing and weaving around political machination correctitude and crap about being elected and how horrid Americans are feeling about themselves, and how those Americans need Phil Gramm’s and the rest of the GOP’s empathy. I guess if all you want to do is get somebody elected, that’s important. I’m sure it’s important if you want to stop the election of someone else, too. And the boys on the bus pretty rapidly dropped the curtain on ol’ Phil, anyway, so he’s probably right, from that perspective.
However, there is no question that a very large percentage of Americans have grown up to be whiny little babies, encouraged by a lot of political so-called leaders and a media machine that has to grind sausage 24/7. Phil Gramm was right — don’t tell me he wasn’t, not when there are doofuses lining up at 4am to buy their third freaking iPhone in 18 months during the same week.
This is all Oprah’s fault, you know. Yet another Chicagoan. I’m beginning to grow a small bit of distaste for a city I’ve always enjoyed visiting. Maybe they’re just brainwashed into some faux 21st-century touchy-feely populism by 150 years of Daleys. I dunno.
