Jonah Goldberg Breaks Down Obama's Escape Plan
National Review readers don’t need me to tell them how funny Jonah Goldberg is, and those who listen to him on various Ricochet podcasts certainly do not need to hear it either. Nevertheless, anyone not paying attention to the shenanigans in Washington should catch up by reading Jonah’s laugh-out-loud funny post on how President Obama would use his debt ceiling techniques to try to coordinate an escape from the Towering Inferno:
Okay, you guys break up into different groups and come up with a series of proposals about how we get out of the building. I will then negotiate with each of you separately and then together, and then separately. Then I’ll get on Skype and tell the world what I think of your respective plans and criticize you for their lack of seriousness. I will insist that we have a balanced approach of applying both water to the fire and opening the windows, which some say will only provide more oxygen for the flames. But my base says window-opening is essential. Oh and I will blame all of the gasoline I threw around on the lower floors of this building on the guy who moved out two years ago. And I will veto any plan that requires we have a new plan should we get stuck on another floor. And, did I mention this mess was created by the former tenant and….ahhh what’s that smell?

Re: Jonah Goldberg Breaks Down Obama's Escape Plan
That is the best Corner post I have read in a long time. So many pieces to cut and paste... Of course the Towering Inferno gave me nightmares when I was a kid, so I am not sure I like where this is going....
