DISQUS

Jim Harper · 3 years ago

Meanwhile, no more luminous (and uptight) a figure than George Will is excoriating Mr. Gattuso for apparently supporting a $3 billion subsidy aimed at greasing the recovery of all this lost consumer welfare.

Yesterday, I told a reporter (of lesser importance and primness) that I wouldn't support it, but I might hold my nose for it . . . .

How do you plead, Gattuso?
