[lbo-talk] crazy?

[Peter Lavelle]

My two cents:  I agree with Doug. Watching all of this from Moscow confirms my belief that the west, especially the US, has no business telling Russians what this country's civil society project should be about.

You're right there's lots of continuity - it's the latest chapter in 
a long history of hopped-up idiocy. But Reagan, for all his problems, 
had a history in politics, from the presidency of the Screen Actors 
Guild through the PR for General Electric through the '64 Goldwater 
nomination speech. Not Arnie. But it's the idiocy of the recall 
process that bothers me more - some moneyed rightwingers instigate a 
pseudo-populist rebellion, and a crypto-Nazi who's likely to rely on 
the Wilson gang for adult supervision takes over.
