I found nothing about St. Liz’s quip that ‘nobody gets rich on their own’ either shocking or a surprise. Put Warren next to Van Jones or Stevie Chu or Cass (not momma) Sunstein along with the sad parade of Obama’s other than Russian Czars and Czarina’s and you wind up with the equivilant of an Academic Central Command Center for Obama’s idea of transformational change.

Ground Zero for why America is a mess today. All these nutty prof’s and so few jobs? Who would’a thunk it!

It’s pretty odd that Warren would take up this torch given how miserably she failed once Obama tapped her. Just as Sunstein’s dictatorial combativeness as Regulations Czar (Red tape? What red tape? We CHOOSE not to have red tape.)… loses it’s persuasiveness once off campus, so too did St. Elizabeaths wit and wisdom.

‘The American consumer never had a chance,’ was the sumation of her views on the fiscal crises, and the defining principle of her construction of the agency her President called her to ‘visualize’. AS told to the former comedian now Minn. Senator during hearings to clarify what exactly she was doing when commissioned to creat a ‘Consumer Protection Agency’, as if every debtor over age 19 was only capable of playing with marbles, unless of course, St. Liz was there to save them from themselves – and the evil bankers.

These academic superstars, Warren, Larry Summers, Sunstein, Chu, Geitner, and others, having earned a lifetime of accolades in their respective fields, have a really hard time dealing with criticism – either constructive or obstructionist (as is often an apt political tactic) – once off the comfortable confines of the university.

And it just doesn’t seem to be working as planned.

Obama, having taught adjunct – the most popular Prof on campus for better than a decade – IS ONE OF THEM. He was going to bring all of the best minds like Warren and fix – well – everything. Like Colussus he stradled both worlds – and now has decended from on high to salvage the republic – in a moment of crises.

So along comes Warren and all these brilliant minds only to discover they have to answer to a bunch of puny republicans in congress asking all these pesky questions. Don’t these Patrick McHenry types KNOW WHO THEY ARE TALKING TO?

Why was it that when before congressional types in important hearings concerning stuff that was way more signifigant than what wallpaper looks better in the facualty lounge at the Havard Yard this brilliant woman suddenly was so evasive and truncated in her responses that one could legitimately question whether her befuddlement was a symptom of something medical – and seriously so? Was she having a stroke? Did she just have a stroke? Is there medication for a condition the public is unaware of?

No it is really much more simple that it even looks, despite how complicated the MSM may claim it to be.

Because this is what you get with the best minds the progressives can produce. You see it with Lisa Jackson at EPA & Salazar at Interior – drill down deep into the belly of the bureacratic beast and bypass the inconvienent and problematic – which just happens to be the essense of representitive democracy -such as the checks and balances of the legislature or the Judiciary.

The least democratic institution on the planet this side of Tehran is academia, where these people hail from and have flourished. This is why Obama is Jimmy Carters second term on steroids – the first Black President who inherited a genuine crises at the onset of his election – thus given extroidinary leway to attempt implimenting a liberal fantasy for successive generations (and no where has this fantasy been more vibrant than Academia)- to ressurect the FDR juggernaut and implement the national equivalent of modern California – twenty plus years of Dem party rule going forward. (‘Lean forward’ for all the MSNBC types)

But a funny thing happened on the way to this ressurection; unlike ’32, the dispirited american masses didn’t turn on capitalism for the newness of massive government intervention. Instead, they awakend and rejected Obama’s perscription for such decisively – handing him historic defeats both in congress – and even more importantly in the statehouses across the land. The complete opposite of the mandate the country handed to FDR 2 years in.

Which is why Warren epitomizes the consumate arrogance of a know it all with blinders on – completely tone deaf to the actions the public announce politically.

So, St. Liz, a woman whose utter inability to tolerate the rough and tumble of the US congress cost her not only control over creating the new cabinate level Dept she had been dreaming of breathing life into for the past ten years of her professional academic life, but also required her surrendering running said dept because it was clear she’d never have a prayer at getting confirmed for the post, has decided, thanks to a draft movement of like-minded folk in and around the Havard Yard, that yes, Politics on the national stage is her next calling?

Whoa – talk about the absent minded prof! No wonder why the lady needs a driver – she certainly couln’t find her keys if her life depended on. Thankfully, ours doesn’t.

Maybe I’d buy it if she was running for Mayor of Cambridge. But she’s not. And while a lot of ink is getting spilled that she is the new darling of the left and all, she is going to be running against a guy’s guy who just happens to be the most popular pol in the state – who she will be running against statewide – in her first election ever.

Scott Brown has a lot more grief to fear from genuine Tea Party Caucus folks in his own party than this brilliant but totally confused hag from Havard. Brown will hand her her ass on a plate with a one way ticket back to the facualty lounge – without any box seats to see the Sox as a concilation prize.
