Jonah Goldberg Is Making Sense

No, really! OK, there are some details that are problematic–I’m not sure what campaign finance reform has to do with this, and George Bush was hardly less prone to claiming to transcend partisan conflict than Hillary Clinton–but the more that the argument that “democracy is about disagreement, and you can’t have the former without the latter” appears in our op-ed pages, the better. There’s no stupider genre of op-eds than the Broderesque “all political problems and our horrible partisanship could be solved if we could just agree that I’m right about everything” routine.
