This is what happens when you pay someone to write because they used to be important instead of because they have something interesting to say. William Bennett served as Ronald Reagan’s education secretary. Then he developed a gambling problem that undermined his self-appointed mission of lecturing us about our morals. The truth is, his brother is a big-shot lawyer. William is a has-been. CNN should save its money. I think it would be impossible to say less in a column than Bennett managed to say in this offering. Let me summarize: Rick Perry is running for president. He’s ahead in the polls. He’s competing with Mitt Romney for establishment support and Michele Bachmann for Tea Party support. If he’s going to win, he’ll need to tone down the Texas act and stop threatening to kill Ben Bernanke.
Gee. I learned exactly nothing I didn’t already know.
