Ed Kilgore on the Irresponsibility Era:
Recall George W. Bush’s meta-message during the 2000 campaign: it was time for a “responsibility era” to rein in the excesses introduced by the out-of-control Baby Boomer Bill Clinton. The grown-ups, emblemized by Dick Cheney and other Bush 41 exiles, were ready to give America a mature and accountable government.
That has turned out to be the biggest Bush lie of them all.
With precious few exceptions, this administration has been characterized by a recklessness and irresponsibility that could barely have been matched if the country had been turned over to actual adolescents.
