I LIKE THE CHARISMA CHALLENGED JEFF SESSIONS AND HE COULD PROBABLY GARNER ELEVEN VOTES…BUT PRESIDENT? THAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH THE GOP TODAY…THEY CONTINUE TO MINE IN DRIED OUT BEDS….THERE ARE PLENTY OF REALLY SMART REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS TO CONSIDER…..RSK
We found a leader, but hardly anybody noticed. Never mind Rubio and Ryan, or people named Bush. Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama is the best we’ve got, and he’s plenty good. In fact, his words on the Senate floor [1] when he implored his colleagues to reject the nomination of Jack Lew for Treasury secretary are as good as it gets. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anything as elegant, compelling, honorable, and philosophically coherent as Sessions’ speech on the 27th of February.
You probably missed it, what with all the excitement of the epic gladiatorial combat between Bob Woodward and the White House, and the Hagel confirmation carnival, and the Rodman diplomatic mission to Pyongyang [2].
Sessions laid out Lew’s incredible record of catastrophic budget proposals, which, as Sessions noted, had been unanimously rejected by Congress and decimated in scholarly and editorial analyses. But all that, terrible though it was, and quite sufficient to disqualify anyone from running Treasury, was in a way the least of it. The worst was Lew’s nonchalance in lying to the Senate.
