Better late than never

I finally got around to digging Ron Suskind's Price of Loyalty out of the pile beside my desk yesterday, and I have to say, it's pretty convincing so far -- particularly in its picture of a president who just seems constitutionally incapable of facing facts that don't conform to his largely unexamined ideas about the way the world works. More on all this when I've turned the last page, probably sometime later today.

POSTSCRIPT: In the same vein, Kevin Drum examines this administration's unwillingness to face reality on matters scientific here.

UPDATE: In answer to an alert e-mailer: Yes, that was a "mocking reference" to Mr. Wanniski's magnum opus. (Though I'd have probably used the term sly allusion. Mocking sounds so unkind....)
