And the first campaign ad to go up against Sununu '10 writes itself:
The key to solving the current economic crisis is to return to President Reagan's values of deregulation and lower taxes, [John E. Sununu] added.
I've had this article on my screen for almost an entire day, which is practically a lifetime in blog years. But I seriously had no idea what to add to that statement.
Because what on earth could you add to that? After 28 years of a governing philosophy of deregulation and tax cuts, accelerated during the last eight, The Smartest Man Not in the Senate's idea to fix our economic collapse is more of the same?
But it gets better. John E. trots out the usual nation-bashing stereotypes to make his radical free marketeer points:
"The answer is not to become more like [someone in audience says "France"] I couldn't bring myself to say it," Sununu said. "Again, we've become so focused on the challenges we face. I don't want to say we've become desperate. We start getting in to some of these arguments being made by those who have always wanted us to be like France, and so now they seem to have an opportunity to say that's the solution in this crisis.
Of course, in France, they've stopped complaining about health care a long time ago, but I digress.
You really should read the whole piece, though. It is the portrait of a man in denial about why he and his party lost in 2008. The projection of cluelessness is so strong, imho, that I am more convinced than ever he's going to run for Gregg's seat.
