Leave
it to Chris Christie, of all people, to put last night’s Republican presidential
debate in perspective by pointing out the absurdity of regulating fantasy
football. By acclamation, the biggest loser in the CNBC-hosted shouting
match was CNBC itself, whether it was the amateur-hour pre-game show, or
moderators making unsolicited confessions about their own student loan debt, or
pointed questions to Carly Fiorina about the odd political views of irrelevant
former Hewlett-Packard executives. But just when you thought the latest
gotcha was a bridge too far, there came blundering Republicans like Jeb Bush,
showing just why the GOP is an unreliable advocate for limited government. Even
about fantasy football. Despite all their talk about freedom, Republicans
are still deeply conflicted when it comes to what people do in the privacy of
their own homes. For instance Ohio Governor John Kasich has some bizarre ideas
about legalizing marijuana. |
