    Mr. Moynahan was a product of an earlier, occasionally reasonably rightly
    attached to reality generation of not unfailingly steeped in Statist dogma Democrats, without question.

    I wonder what he was referring to... the rarity of his own competence or his fellows? A politician always speaks out of both sides of his/her mouth -- this is one of those statements that says nothing but reinforces the speaker's reputation for being wise...
