peter orszag is a good emblem of extreme squishy totalitarianism. one day he's setting up to funnel billions of dollars to citibank. the next he's joining their board of directors. on the third, he's telling you what to think about it all in the new york times. he has transcended corruption into a new realm of blessedness. i'm going to give america's democrats the benefit of the doubt and assume that they didn't quite understand who they were electing.
