How insufferable will Arianna get in the next few years? Maybe this insufferable:
“I only text three people – my two teenage children and Barack Obama.”
I might as well confess: I don’t know the president-elect personally and don’t intend to get to know him socially. I do intend to watch him like a hawk, as I have now for two years. And I hope he is everything his first supporters saw in him. So far, the solid conventionality of his cabinet picks – with the sole exception of torture apologist Jim Brennan – seems exactly what I’d expect from a serious man intent on serious government.
Which must stagger Sean Hannity, Stanley Kurtz, Jonah Goldberg, Hugh Hewitt, et al. I mean: this far left, Islamist, terror-loving America-hater just picked … Timothy Geithner. Noam Chomsky was unavailable?
