What I was unable to articulate after the Democratic debate
Lawrence Lessig writes about the heated Democratic debate last Monday night:
Watching the debate last night, I wondered what happens when we become as bad as they. (WE=Dems; THEY=Karl Rove GOP). For there was a cheapness and dishonesty in the exchange last night that I haven’t quite recognized before. Why I hadn’t registered this before is an obvious question — for of course, cheapness and dishonesty in presidential politics has been with us for a long time. But I recognized something about it last night I hadn’t recognized before…disappointment is one thing; (this word sounds too harsh, I know, but) disgust is something else.
