...hope the hard-line attitudes will start to soften. When a lawyer representing New York City pleaded with a judge for a resolution of the work-for-shelter issue by Dec. 22, Justice Elliott Wilk demurred: "I don't think you really have to implement this for Christmas." The question is whether that holiday spirit will last beyond the New Year...
...then he smirked, a reaction that is actually the polar opposite of the deer-in-the-headlight look that overcame Dan Quayle when he realized he'd exposed his ignorance.

Just who might be responsible for leaving the voters with these impressions is not the sort of question political pundits bother their pretty little heads about. It may be worth noting, though, that in recent weeks the New Republic has carried cover drawings of Bush as a dunce, with the tag line WHY AMERICA LOVES STUPID CANDIDATES, and as the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, with...
