OJay is a very, very bad man.  In 1994 I refused to watch cable news.  It was nuts.  Every goddamn day the murderer was on. To say that the trial was a circus is simplistic gibberish and a cliche', but how better to typify it?

He won on the standard of 'Reasonable Doubt' and he proceeded years later to lose on a standard of a 'preponderance of the evidence.'

Now he will be imprisoned, at the age of 61, for a minimum of 9 years, and I would peg it at 15.
Who cares?  The coverage has made it clear, by letting the judge talk, that everything was on video and audio.  Guns were drawn.

OJay proceeds to tell the judge that he had no idea he was doing anything wrong. blah, blah, blah.

The judge was superb in meeting out the sentence and goodby OJay. The funniest part of the news coverage today was the interview with OJay's attorneys.  "He could have done a lot worse."  I laugh now as I write it.

But my post has little to do with all of this.  On Hardball today, Chris and a couple of talk radio people, reasonable radio people all came to the following conclusion about OJay:


"I look at OJ and I think he was surrounded by too many sycophants. I think he was not that smart. I think he was and is incapable of feeling guilt or remorse. I do not think he was ever challenged intellectually." 

If you had turned onto Hardball at that exact moment.  Who would you think they were tallking about?

This statement is exactly what I think about w. I think our President for eight years was:


I look at w and I think he was surrounded by too many sycophants.  And evil people seeking power. I think he was not that smart. I think he was and is incapable of feeling guilt or remorse. I do not think he was ever challenged intellectually.

What better way to describe the worst president since Coolidge?
