Kevin D. Williamson writes good copy for National Review. Here his primary topic is the corrupt-to-the-bone Democrat machine politics of the states of Illinois and New York.
The point here is not that the state governments of New York and Illinois are corrupt, or that the Democratic party is, in my friend Michael Walsh’s piquant but accurate phrase, a criminal organization masquerading as a political party. We try to publish and discuss news here at National Review, and that is not news.Really?
No doubt Governor Cuomo and Governor Quinn each thinks that he is doing what is best for his state, and that the good things he can do with power justify the wicked things he must do to keep it. No doubt Barack Obama sincerely thinks that, and Lois Lerner, too. Osama bin Laden was utterly sincere in his beliefs, too. Sincerity has its limits.
