Hearings Impact

For John, BLUF:  It appears the Impeachment Hearings viewing audience is viewing the hearings through their own individual political viewing lenses.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

"not to get panglossian but I think…"

From The Althouse Blog, 20 November 2019.

Here is the tweet being commented, plus three paragraphs:

Harry Litman
@harrylitman
not to get panglossian but I think these hearings are helping the Ds become the party of wholesomeness and patriotism and the Rs the party of grievance and pettiness.  that would be a disaster watershed moment for the party of Reagan.

Who's Litman?  His Twitter profile says:  "Washington Post columnist.  Former US Attorney, DOJ official.  Teach con law at UCSD and UCLA.  Practice law @CCWhistleblower.  Exec. prod. & host, @talkingfedspod."

This tweet is such a perfect example of cocooned liberal self-love.  If there is one thing that has given me energy from Day 1 of this blog, it is my aversion to cocooned liberal self-love.

If there is one word in that tweet that gets me, it's "wholesomeness."  Imagine staring at Adam Schiff for hours thinking, oh, that is so reassuring, he's so gosh-darn wholesome.

I am with Professor Althouse on this.  And Mr Litman is living in an alternative university.
