Entry: Why Michael Mukasey? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/why_michael_mukasey#5895 Post contents: @Kevin Another consideration is that too many pro-life political activities are marked with extreme naivete and unwillingess to face certain facts. In other words, being potentially useful idiots. I am reminded of the comment that the Peronist Arturo Jauretche made to the ultra catholics in Argentina and their political activity "You supported the overthrow of Irigoyen and helped bring in the conservatives. They thanked you with a swift kick in the rear. You supported Peron and he was with you until he realized you were "piantavotos" (vote chasers) and got rid of you. You now support the overthrow of Peron and help these guys, who also are going to get rid of you. The first time, you were young, inexperienced men. The second time, you were grown men. Now you are old men. The one thing that does not change is that you are a****les." Playing politics is not a question only of principles, but of skill, and too many lack it. Sent at: 2008 11 22
