Of course as lackluster or corporate or wrong-headed as the Democrats can be, there’s simply no equivalent to staffing the permanent bureaucracy with a bunch of Liberty University and Bob Jones grads and telling them to gut their agency, throw out anyone who reports on science that angers religious supporters, stifle anyone who might interfere with industry and fire any attorneys that aren’t actively prosecuting Democrats.

However, far from being mere interim caretakers, they are expected to advance the corporate interests and accomplish what eluded their immediate GOP predecessor. It was Clinton that got two of GHB’s agenda items through: NAFTA and reduction in the capital gains taxes. And he didn’t stop there — pushed through more deregulation than Reagan and Bush combined managed.

Meanwhile, rank and file Democrats are kept distracted by the rightwing corporate rabble-rousers and their Pavlovian loons. Of course in falling for these distractions every time, the left is no less Pavlovian.

Here’s a headline suggestion: “The Scurrilousness of a Thousand Cuts”.

Don’t forget the DOJ, which apart from some minor relief and judicially-imposed reform has consistently defended and promoted the refried Third Reich jurisprudence and turbocharged Unitary Executive concept implemented by their nefarious predecessor.

I mean, gee whiz– if Obama & Holder’s Department of Justice wasn’t so fanatically determined to stay clean as Bo’s tooth, and avoid even the appearance of the sordid and malfeasant politicization practiced by the previous maladministration, one might wonder if the DOJ also “jettisoned” promising selections.

It Dawns on me that it has indeed.

Please have yourself cloned to connect these dots as comprehensively as you do with the banksters! Thanks.
