It's about polls and focus groups, idiot.

Sous les pressions populaires et politiciennes, Elliot Spitzer, gouverneur de l'État de New York, a retiré sa proposition de fournir des permis de conduire aux immigrants illégaux de son état. Yippee-kee-yay, autre victoire de la xénophobie sur le gros bon sens.

Il ya une citation ce matin, dans le NY Times, qui me fout les jetons, vraiment.

But Mr. Spitzer, who once dismissed a critic of his proposal as “factually wrong, legally wrong, morally wrong, ethically wrong,” was more conciliatory today, saying that leadership was “not solely about doing what one thinks is right.”

Not solely about doing what one thinks is right.

Je comprends de mieux en mieux le cynisme.
