The Vanquished Advising the Victors

No, Ali! You should have gone jab, jab, hook, THEN uppercut!

Since Tuesday, an especially irritating species of column has cropped up in major news media outlets. Broadly speaking, this column purports to be advice or caution to the GOP about how they should govern once they are in power or things they should avoid doing. That’s all fine and good of course except that these columns come from people who have spent their entire lives working against the GOP and everything they stand for. For a representative example, read these offerings from Sally Kohn, Charles Blow, Paul Krugman, and Timothy Egan.

 

Let me help you people out. First of all, to every news outlet running these pieces: you are beclowning yourselves, please stop. Who on earth thinks the Republicans won on Tuesday just so they could start taking advice from Sally Kohn. Second, we know good and well that there are people who have been following your advice this whole time –

George Will’s Advice to John Boehner and Mitch McConnell Paul A. Rahe

November 7, 2014 at 5:08 am ( 2 hours ago )

 

On Wednesday, as the dust was settling, George Will published a column that deserves attention. In it, he suggested a number of measures that John Boehner and Mitch McConnell should press as soon as the new Congress meets.

 

Some of his suggestions are obvious: the Republicans should repeal the tax on medical devices, authorize construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, mandate completion of the nuclear waste respository in Nevada’s Yucca mountain. Passing these will place President Obama in the awkward position of following their lead or vetoing these popular and sensible measures.

 

The other three measures Will suggests I find less obvious but far more interesting and compelling, for they address constitutional questions:

 

Abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
