Do FDR and Bush Agree on Privatization?
Jane Galt concedes that FDR’s plan does in fact look a lot like Bush’s, contrary to what Al Franken says, but she says, who cares?
I also think that the current practice of trying to marshal historical figures in support of very modern policy arguments is idiotic. The fact that Mark Twain wrote a damn fine novel does not mean that we should listen to his opinion on the Spanish-American war, the fact that JFK cut taxes does not mean that we should do so now, and Ike’s budget policies are not necessarily a good guide to our current fiscal policy.
Kevin Drum thinks conservative bloggers should tear themselves away from Eason Jordan and be outraged at Brit Hume’s quoting of FDR in this way.
I assume the excuse — assuming the conservative blogosphere can tear itself away from Eason Jordan, Bill Moyers, and Ward Churchill long enough to notice — will be the usual one: everyone knows Fox anchors are conservative shills. So it’s OK for them to do this kind of stuff.
