Credit due

Much as I have mocked Geoff Stone over the years, this is something truly remarkable. The reason we have such slipshod institutions and such fools as Obama in office is because too few leaders stand up for principle when it is called for.

Doubtless Stone supported Obama, I understand, but everyone is entitled to support fools, and Stone's having been foolish doesn't take away from standing up and doing the right thing. (Nor has Stone repented, since he cites Obama's obviously bad faith lines against the very sort of bullying that made him what he is. Oh, well.)
