I especially liked Orzag's dismissive take on Republican intentions to use their discipline on the tax cuts and the surmounting deficit to arm-twist the Democrats into entitlement reform. You can watch it on RealPlayer here: http://www.c-span.org/search/basic.asp? ... =Brookings
It's the first from the top.
The New America Foundation's C-SPAN bonanza continues, check it out on http://www.c-span.org/. Their four-hour long "Bush is essentially doing the right thing but he's still an idiot and he should be doing it this way" fest from Tuesday is right here: http://www.c-span.org/search/basic.asp? ... foundation
It's also first from the top.
I don't know which is worse, the far left's incoherent ranting or the center-left's whiny elitism.
