Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:

    Check out this highly recommended diary at Kos, which tries to argue in favour of the proposition that appointments don't matter by equating obama to a mafia don. It doesn't get more "interesting" (As Glenn puts it) than that in terms of rationalizing/justifying obama's picks.
