NY Times Op-Ed Piece calls out Splum and his ilk
err, sort of

Quote:
Barack Obama has only been president for six weeks, but there is a surprising amount of ire, anger, even outrage that he hasn?t yet solved the problems of the U.S. economy, that he hasn?t saved us from the increasingly tragic devastation wrought by the clownish ideas of right-wing conservatives and the many long years of radical Republican misrule.....
This intense, impatient, often self-righteous, frequently wrongheaded and at times willfully destructive criticism has come in waves.....
Freaking out over earmarks is like watching a neighborhood that is being consumed by flames and complaining that there is crabgrass on some of the lawns.....
In the midst of the craziness, conservatives are busy trying to blame this epic economic catastrophe ? a conflagration of their own making ? on the new president. Forget Ronald Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush and George Herbert Hoover Bush and the Heritage Foundation and the Club for Growth and Phil Gramm and Newt Gingrich and all the rest. The right-wingers would have you believe this is Obama?s downturn.
What I know is that the renegade clowns who ruined this economy, the Republican right in alliance with big business and a fair number of feckless Democrats ? all working in opposition to the interests of working families ? have no credible basis for waging war against serious efforts to get us out of their mess
