“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Fun fact of the day

MSNBC (my emphasis):
Early Wednesday, a man was arrested when he tried to bring a plastic cup of water into the hospice. Police officers stopped him at the gate as he shouted: "You don't know God from Godzilla!"

He became the 48th protester arrested since the feeding tube was removed.

I listened to Sean Hannity for as long as I could yesterday (tolerance time, 45 seconds), and he suggested the media was being "unfair" to the protesters. I would think if there was a bias against the protesters, we would hear about every single one of these arrests splashed on the front page as an example of how out of control they are. Instead, they get casual mentions in the middle of a news story with no judgement passed on the idea of giving a woman who can't really swallow a drink of water, which could end up in her drowning.

No judgement at all.

What was it that made me turn Hannity off, by the way? He kept talking about the "mainstream media." Perhaps you can hear him on FOX News, the number one rated media outlet on cable TV.
