*That’s what made the whole period-costume fetish party so surreal: the sight of all these people re-enacting the Founding Fathers revolutionary fight for democracy, while at the same time cheering on a plan that overthrows American democracy and restricts power to a vanguard elite — which presumably includes the kinds of draft-dodging rednecks and bipolar government-parasites like Tancredo.*
But what I see is a meandering run-on sentence. I mean, it's not awful, but.... And the whole edifice is built on the assertion that the founding fathers were involved in a "revolutionary fight for democracy"....so, wobbly, very wobbly.
I agree about Taibbi's jockitis; still, he's awfully fun to read. And sharp. Very sharp.
