More from Katrina

Whenever if feel the need to read some condescending ultra-liberal nonsense, I know that I can always get it by reading the altest from Katrina Vanden Heuvel. Her latest two piece fit right into the genre. Today, Katrina is out with a column lauding Nancy Pelosi and endorsing her run for minority leader in the next Congress. After all, says Katrina, just look at all that Pelosi accomplished. At the start of the term, she told us what she would be doing, and she actually did just that. Given the nature of what it was that Pelosi actually did, her "accomplishments" seem like a strange reason to keep her as the Democrats' leader. Pelosi pushed through a "stimulus" that was designed less to stimulate economic growth and more to pay off various constituencies of the Democrats. She got a cap and trade bill passed that would have crippled any chance for job growth in the USA while not meaningfully reducing the carbon emissions that supposedly form the justification for the legislation. Indeed, the cap and trade bill that she pushed through was so flawed that even the Senate's Democratic super-majority did not bother to vote on that bill. Obamacare was, of course, the bill that Pelosi said had to be passed so that we could find out what was in it. These "accomplishments" led to the biggest Democratic Congressional losses in over 60 years.

In view of the basis for Vanden Heuvel lauding Nancy Pelosi, I wonder what she thinks of Adolph Hitler. After all, Hitler said right up front that he would create a thousand year reich or destroy Germany in the attempt. He then destroyed Germany, just like he said he would. He also told everyone of his plans for non-Aryan populations, especially Jews, and he did just what he said he would do. Given those "accomplishments, Katrina Vanden heuvel should be a big fan of his.

In the column that she wrote just before the Paean to Pelosi's accomplishments, Vanden Heuvel wrote a lengthy celebration of the victory of Eric Schneiderman as New York State Attorney General. If anything, this column shows Vanden Heuvel to be even more brain dead than I first suspected. Schneiderman is allegedly mixed up in all sorts of corruption in New York. Indeed, he was such a tarnished candidate, that all the large newspapers including the NY Times, the Daily News, and others endorsed his Republican opponent. Democrats like Ed Koch and liberals like Mike Bloomberg also endorsed Schneiderman's opponent. In short, everyone in New York who knew anything about Schneiderman endorsed his opponent. Katrina says his election will lead to a more fair, decent and just state. In other words, Katrina has no idea what she is talking about.
