I mean the legacy is whatever happens, James K. Polk wasn't trying to make somebody write a song about him. I think the legacy is that modern US presidents will be remembered as the PR wing of the actual government which dutifully functions with or without an elite reality show contestant going through the motions of running this too-big-to-fail apparatus.
is this faux-naif Manny?
The Thing already passed (happy news-dump Friday!), the only remaining question is which contortions, er, concessions will justify passage of a bill next week. It'll be a really close vote, say 216-213, so all the actors are wearing the right masks for the aw-shucks part afterwards, and we'll be encouraged to channel our energy towards defeating those darn DINO dems who pop up like Whack-A-Mole wherever serious woodchuck issues are at stake, and the right can blow off steam by electing Teabaggers who promise to catch that rascally rabbit once and for all. And yet, no matter whom we elect, there's a permanent majority in support of a permanent regime, only they trade masks at the last second to belabor this reality TV democra-theatre.
