"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

This piece by Victor Davis Hanson brings to mind many things, but most comically, the late scene in "The Wizard of Oz" when the fraud of the Wizard is revealed by Toto.

Two of the curtains of lies pulled back by the little dog of truth are:

1. How is it that the "Party of the People" can have sold itself to the rapacious currency speculator Soros? How can "they", the leaders of the "Party of the People", so smart and aware by their own testimony, believe that the rapacious currency speculator Soros is in this campaign because he detests GWB philosophically and wants to defeat him for the "good of the people"? How can "they" not see that history says much more strongly that the rapacious currency speculator Soros is in this campaign to set up his next great short position and profits (on the back of the US$) by electing a prep school buffoon whose economic policies will make us long for the days of the greatest Presidential failure in history, Jimmy Carter. Do "they" know what a short position is? Do "they" understand that the people really hurt by the return of such economic chaos here will be "the People" and NOT the eternal snipe of "the rich who do not pay their fair share" (you mean, like, who pay a bit less than 13% rather than about 30%?).

2. If Michael Moore is such a "man of the people", why's he pimpin' college kids for $30K an hour? Is he pimpin' the Hollywood and Park Avenue types that much?...or, proper populist Marxist that he is, is he charging the Hollywood and Park Avenue types "according to their ability"? How big would that fee be?...or do the Hollywood and Park Avenue types get a rectal-smooching discount?
