Chris Buckley T. Coddington Van Vorhees VII waxes eloquent about Mr. Obama’s speech.
Those who have followed my missives in this space are also aware of my growing concerns about the President himself. While he enjoys the continuing allegiance of our nation’s smart set, it now appears that the unhinged insolent mobs of the town halls have successfully conspired to inflict some damage on the once-unassailable fortress of his approval ratings. This unforeseeable turn of events has culminated in the recent coup in Massachusetts, when the ancestral Kennedy Senate seat was usurped by an ill-bred populist pickup trucker. I am afraid that Mr. Obama must accept some of the blame for this latest insult to American birthright. The corollary to le droit de seigneur is the obligation of the ruler to maintain a modicum of rapport with his subjects, and in this respect the President has been found curiously wanting. But therein lies a conundrum; how does a man of such impeccable oratory and intellect lower himself to the simian grunts of the commons?
Of course, for pure gut punch fisking Ace drops Chris Buckley T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII like a cheap date.
