The Good Doctor and American Political Realism

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/09/AR2010120904472.html 

Here is The Good Doctor (TGD) doing his Peronist caudillo turn, for our intellectual edification! The aimless political world needs the interpretive brio of our little authoritarian, to explain the political prestidigitation, of the master politician Barack Obama, who wins even as he loses? TGD shouts because that is his way; a lamentable but necessary strategy, to deal with the ignorant and the politically tone deaf. All the active participants of The American Political Melodrama at the least have walk-on parts, his narrative prominently features clueless Democrats of all stripes, but the left is his primary target, it’s handy and even the President favors a healthy disrespect for its professional wing. Neo-Conservative political chatter is both readable and quotable, sharing that quality with the unforgettable literary prose of the late, lamented Jacquiline Susann.
