The problem with being cavalier about experts, as is Sen. Clinton, is that experts often know what they’re talking about. That’s why they’re called experts.

Experts told George Bush, and the Congress which rolled over for him, that his war on Iraq was bogus and would be  a disaster. The experts, and most of the rest of us, were right.

The experts tell us that the economy is in the (gas) tank, something that may be hard to swallow if you’re routinely making $20 million a year as are the Clintons and that the thing to do about it is not to make it worse with pathetic gimmicks. But the experts are dismissed by the multi-multi-millionaire candidate as “elitist.”

The experts tell us that we destroy the environment at our own peril  but the Republicans under their fearless leader, George Bush, have contempt  for the environment if it inconveniences the very rich industrialists. The experts have been losing that one under the Grand Old Party. That doesn’t make the experts wrong or elitist.

The experts have advised us that our bedrock liberties are not situational things to be discarded when they become bothersome to the Central Government. The experts had it right there, too; while the totalitarians of the right have it wrong.

Stick with the experts.

Mrs. Clinton may be annoyed that her pandering is exposed by people who actually may know what they’re talking about. But at this stage of her long career of such, she is not going to let the experts get in the way of her ambition.

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton. Do you need to be an expert to find that  a pretty dismal prospect?
