The Spice Must FLOW

More great moments in other blog's comment sections (this time featuring ME. Yeah, ME)

Regarding this post on Dr. Helen's blog commenting on her and her hubby's excellent interview (mp3) with Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. (and Senatorial hopeful), here's my comment, and the following comment, commenting on my comment

Good interview, both of you are adept at letting the subject speak.

That seems to be a rarer and rarer talent lately.

With that said, I think by doing so you gave Rep. Ford plenty of rope with which to do bad stuff to himself with.

He sounds vaguely redistributionist, vaguely defeatist, vaguely enamored with the wonders of soft power style diplomacy.

All things that hopefully are anathema to the majority of Tennessee voters.

Anyway, again kudos, I would have been too busy calling him an idiot to let him say all the stuff he said, killing with kindness leaves 'moderate' Democrats just as dead (from an intellectual, spiritual and political perspective, of course).

Still on the personal level he seems like a nice, young, engaged sort of fellow, who should know better, but his aspirations for future national importance fogs his judgement.

A "Starfleet" politician. Too bad it's a Dune universe.
