Basically, I've let it be known that I few historical parallelism as primary weapon of the professional hack, the stock-in-trade--if you will--of weak-minded writers who'd rather grab the crutch of history and precedent, than do the hard work of determining what this particular, unique moment means. Still there is this stupid debate going on. Most of the entries reject the McGovern line, and thank God they do. Calling Obama, McGovern is incredible refitting of history.
