Yeah, this is one of those times. I did start to add some caveats about agreeing with everything Ms. Galt said. [Actually, she comes across to me as a much more likeable and sensible person than I could imagine J.G. being] The extent of my familiarity with her comes from watching her in discussions on Bloggingheads TV. I have watched a fair number of them. There too I thought her smart and informative but too dedicated to fitting every solution into her libertarian political science paradigm. I just checked, she has been on that program more than sixty times with a lot of different people including one in April of 2008 with Glenn Greenwald which I missed but will go back soon to watch. I'm sure all his many other fans here will jump to do the same.

Yes, Jane Galt can at times be quite insightful. And labeling those bubble boys and girls New Mandarins was a good choice. Maybe they will pay attention to the flattery, spoonfuls of sugar and all that. Doubt they would respond well to how I have in the past cataloged them. To me they are Antoinettes because quite often they seem as clueless as the fictional Marie and her cake.

Excellent article. MCardle is

Excellent article. MCardle is obviously brilliant, I agree with everything she said.
