I found this segment fascinating. I’m continually amazed at how awkward Republican politics has become. How full of contradictions and rationalizations. How after all this shifting of language, debate framing, political innuendo, the previous schemata for administrative thought has fallen back finally on merely asserting that the premises that allow a question to be asked are faulty. From pitching themselves as slick, accountable competent executive figures for a new political age in 2000, to being reduced to a fourth tier philosophy, arguing that questions are corrupt based on faulty metaphysical premises, co-opting the tools of neo-Marxist collegiate poseurs.

In a word, pathetic.
