Amused Cynic

Dame Peggy is now hoping that “Common Sense May Sink Obamacare.” This is why she gets the big bucks:

This is big, what’s happening. President Obama appears to have misstepped on a major initiative and defining issue. He has misjudged the nation’s mood…

Oh, has he now? Maybe a few other people did too? Like–perhaps yourself–you ego-bloated twit? I have news for you, Peggy…[Pardon me, I don't usually do this, but I feel a sudden need to switch to all caps and channel Mark Levin....THERE]

…HEY PEGGY, COMMON SENSE WOULD HAVE SUNK THIS FRAUDULENT JACKASS BACK WHEN HE FIRST DECLARED HIS CANDIDACY! COMMON SENSE WOULD HAVE BLOWN HIM OUT OF THE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY! COMMON SENSE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED ELITIST JACKASSES LIKE YOU AND BUCKLEY AND BROOKS FROM DECIDING THAT IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO DEFEAT SARAH PALIN AS THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THAN DEFEATING A TROJAN HORSE ALINSKYITE CHARLATAN FROM TAKING THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY IN THE MIDST OF DEMOCRAT CONGRESSIONAL HEGEMONY! GO BACK TO YOUR STUPID WOWOWOW.COM WEBSITE WITH THE REST OF YOUR FLIGHTY FRIENDS AND THEIR FULSOME FULMINATIONS, YOU BUNCH OF MOD SQUAD WANNABES. AND GET OFF OF MY WALL STREET JOURNAL OP-ED PAGE!

The problem with Peggy is that she has no common sense…she, like Obama, inhabits the world of great thoughts, whence great things. According to her, and Obamakins across the land.

Now, to move on. If you want to read eloquent common sense written by a truly thoughtful and articulate man UNLIKE PEGGY NOONAN THE TWIT, try reading this excellent explanation of what is right with our health care system, and why the government-controlled collectivist approach will only destroy it. I last wrote about its author, Clifford Asness, in May, comparing him to Patrick Henry for his very bold public counterattack on Obama’s anti-capitalism demagoguery last Spring, wherein he explained to the president and his supporters how the free enterprise system works in this country. In this earlier piece, he described the president’s maligning of financial entrepreneurs as “backward and libelous;” I imagine, had his health care piece not been published prior to the president’s disastrous press conference Wednesday night, Asness might have applied the same descriptives to Obama’s maligning of tonsil-snatching pediatricians and Cambridge police sergeants.

Mr. Asness has a web site now, more a repository for his well-thought out pieces than a run-of-the-mill blog, and it’s well worth bookmarking for reference purposes in the political arguments to come. And if you happen to come across Peggy, whirling around the streets of Manhattan tossing her hat in the air like Mary Richards, ask her if Mr. Asness’s resumé meets with her approval, or is he just another inelegant dunderhead commoner like Sarah Palin was?
