The president’s reform plan has been seen by almost everyone to be bunk, and hackneyed bunk at that. His political capital is evaporating and, while it was disgraceful for a congressman to scream at him “You lie!” (which he was, about health care for illegal immigrants), this is more understandable and likely to be more habit-forming than an Iraqi journalist’s throwing shoes at his predecessor.
Conrad Black is the author of Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Champion of Freedom and Richard M. Nixon: A Life in Full.
For those of you who have forgotten, Conrad Black wrote this letter from Coleman Federal Correctional Complex where he is an inmate serving a prison sentence for fraud.
National Review just so happened to forget to mention that little fact.
