Colman McCarthy, bless his heart, tells it like it is about the GOP primaries, in brilliant commentary at National Catholic Reporter. His essay begins as follows:
If ever the country needed bed rest and a chance to dose up on Prozac or the antidepressant of your choice, it’s now. Through some 20 televised debates and hundreds of interviews, Republican aspirants to the presidency assaulted the nation’s intelligence, or what was left of it, with displays of venality, egomania, pandering, deception, self-delusion, self-promotion and scripted nonsense -- and that’s just from Newt Gingrich.
And it only gets better after that.
