One of my favorite ‘media people’ is Tina Brown. I’ve spent a lot of time catching up, after my escape from the Best Seller List of 1968, and my girl Tina has put her finely manicured hand on the pulse of what ever is most current. Imagine my surprise when going to The Daily Beast( so clever of her to get the title of her site from Scoop by that old curmudgeon Evelyn Waugh) to discover a video starring one of my favorite Imperial Apologists Niall Ferguson. He’s so cute and you know my penchant for violating pretty straight boys, old G.V. dropped a dime on his girl! To use the wonderfully current parlance.Well, the sexy Mr. F. has produced a spectacularly vulgar video. Can it be that the revolution that MTV wrought so many years ago has finally come to the manufacture of political opinion,all tarted up with animated graphics and closeups of our hero, while he plays to the camera in the distance,rendering his performance slightly comic? The  political crux of the matter is that our hero,gesticulating a little too broadly, makes the arguements of both the Keyenesians and Friedmanites have their ideas in the wrong place, about how to address our economic,the world economic fix, and that he has the answer. All that in four minutes and seventeen seconds of animated fun.Sort of like Walt Disney meets The Dismal Science with your genial host Mr. F.: I wonder who they will get to do the pitch for the Networks?
