MALLABY'S REALITY GAP :

Bush's Credibility Gap (Sebastian Mallaby, July 29, 2002, washingtonpost.com)

If anti-market populism gains momentum, we'll need leaders with the credibility to fight back. That means people who can make the pro-market argument
without being accused of shilling for business cronies or of knee-jerk anti-government instincts. Both parties have such leaders. The Clinton economic team embraced expanded government in areas such as health care, but it frequently rejected dumb anti-market policies. In the Republican Party, Sen. John McCain is a scourge of cronyistic lobbies, which makes him all the more credible as a staunch pro-market advocate.

Yeah, let's here what Mr. McCain (R, Keating) has to say about banking and what Bob Rubin has to say about Enron. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 29, 2002 7:46 PM
