When Colin gets it right

He really gets it right. I'm just catching up on the newspaper reading I missed when I was on my short vacation to Louisiana, and I came across this brilliant column by Colin McEnroe. If you haven't read it, do. He nails the feeling of disappointment that so many of us are feeling about our country and its leaders.

Keith Olbermann was brilliant on the same topic in a special commentary last week.

BTW, McEnroe also nails the Hartford Courant, the secretary of state and the attorney general, in his blog this a.m. for their, pull-the-carpet-out, support of Eddie Perez, and their "bigotry of low expectations." Beautiful.

Everything AND the kitchen sink

John Rowland was brought low by a hot tub.

Will Eddie Perez perish by a toilet and a garbage disposal?

The sequence of events are a bit suspicious, but Eddie says he has the check stubs to prove his innocence.

Folks couldn't wrap their minds around the parking lot problem, but they understand kitchen cabinets and shower enclosures. It's the concrete symbol of potential corruption that usually buries politicians too narcissistic to think their misdeeds will be uncovered.

This on the heels of the Perez push to keep Minnie Gonzalez off the battle paints an unflattering picture of the first "strong" mayor of Hartford. Oh, and did I mention his support of Creepy Joe Lieberman?
