Reactionary Liberalism and the Peanut Narcissist

By Ralph Alter "With his strident assumption of moral superiority nd defective judgment hogging national headlines, Mr. Carter has assured that he will be able to contemplate the derision he has earned before he shuffles off this mortal coil.

Weekly Standard "Even those who agree with the administration's approach concede that the rollout was clumsy--middle of the night phone calls and little prior consultation.
