Walker Bragman is a wanker.
A much better use of your time is to read Jim DiEugenio’s long review of David Talbot’s new book on Allen Dulles: The Devil’s Chessboard.
Peter Beinart says that Hillary Clinton’s domestic policy will be significantly to the left of Obama’s, but primarily because the people will tolerate it and, to some degree, demand it. Keep in mind, though, that even if Beinart is right about Clinton’s proposals, it’s really the makeup of Congress, not the electorate, that determines how progressive a president’s legacy will be.
Also, Beinart used to worry about Democrats pandering to blacks but he’s learned to stop.
What’s on your mind?
