I mentioned Tim Rutten’s article in the LA Times, [1] earlier today. Captain Ed [2] makes note of the same bit and says in part as regards the causes of the debate debacle:
Corruption? Rutten doesn’t make the case. As my partner Mitch [3] said today on our NARN broadcast, don’t blame conspiracies for what can be explained by incompetence.
I tell him:
Sorry, Ed.
I’m not buying.
Incompetency, by definition, produces an inconsistent product.
The product under discussion, has been anything but inconsistent; it has constantly been leaning left for decades.
