George Will Writes About Castle, Adds Nothing
Dishonest pundit George Will spews conventional wisdom about Mike Castle and the Delaware U.S. Senate race in his latest column.
Demure Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution, but since then has not made many waves. It might, however, be part of a political wave a year from now, thanks to a direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin.
Here’s what we learn in the column:
I’m not sure what George Will added that couldn’t be found in wikipedia. As an added bonus, George Will also explains to us that high unemployment is bad for incumbents in general and incumbents with re-elect numbers of less than 50% are in trouble. Just remember folks, George Will is a highly respected political columnist who regularly appears on TV. I can totally understand why now. Looking up this stuff in wikipedia is hard work!

The George Will phenomenon always puzzles me. All I can figure is that he used whatever investigative skills he had to get the goods on his bosses. How else do you explain it?
I’m surprised it didn’t include a line like, “The climate for incumbants today is cooling even faster than the Earth itself. If you look at recent trends, so far this year, not a single Congressional incumbant has been re-elected.”
Love how GW tries to patronize Ted Kaufman, who could eat Will for breakfast – on policy, politics, science, economics …
Update – Will’s similar 1994 love note to Mike Huffington is legendary:

His article is commentary not analysis. Most talking heads are indeed of the same manner. That fact should be no surprise, the fact that people listen to them is the surprise.
Get your own facts and form your own opinions.
