The video of the TIME Magazine unveiling of their FDR/Obama magazine issue cover is here:

The above was on this morning, of all places, "Morning Joe." Didn't that show used to be conservative? They are fawning all over the cover and the FDR-Obama comparison in the clip above.

As well, Amity Shaes is still at work in her cottage industry of debunking FDR & the New Deal, which has drawn in even Paul Krugman, here with new piece claiming the Tennessee Valley Authority unfairly crowded out private firms that were about to supply rural electrification, but were denied the chance by big liberal government interference. :(((((((

[Play me the world's tiniest violin, Amity.]

So Shlaes's whole career now is just about nit-picking away at the New Deal? Whatever little niche you can find, I guess...
