Very glad, too, was I not to be in the greater DC area for that event. My only consolation (well, other than fitting in a tasting of 130 year old brandy within the M&IE allowance) was that, to the cheering, happy Europeans, I was able to predict that they would come to regret the election of Obama at least as much as we would.<br /><br />Schadenfreude is a poor consolation, but it is consolation nonetheless. Still, the Poles deserve it much, much less than their "betters" in Europe.Leopoldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-58933950180381052562012-06-01T19:29:06.924-04:002012-06-01T19:29:06.924-04:00Dylan and his "When the Ship Comes In":

Why would anyone expect judgment, discretion, and statesmanship from this crowd?<br /><br />Also, with respect to debasing the currency of the Medal of Freedom, one needs only to see Obama's casual, glib demeanor when presenting the MoF to Bob Dylan. If the MoF is a serious award, it is hard to tell. At least Dylan seemed to treat the event with respect.
