"We've been hearing quite a bit lately about candidates being "not ready to govern." Sharron Angle, we're told, is not ready to govern. Carly Fiorina is not ready to govern. Joe Miller is NRG. Christine O'Donnell... need you ask? It's always conservative candidates, never liberals, but we might have guessed that. It's one of those phrases that appear simultaneously in blogs, columns, and news stories, exactly as if some secret network was dictating the correct media slant. But let's not be paranoid...
Instead we'll ask: in what the sense is the term "ready" being used?"
And then:
"Politics, from the liberal point of view, looks a lot like the feudalism of the high medieval period. But we already knew that."
