Today's Required Reading

I have to admit that as much as I worship the Divine Peggy Noonan (mmmm.....Peggy....mmmmm......), even I sometimes get tired of her more maudlin and sugary essays.

Well, Sweet Baby Jesus, there's none of that in her column today! Instead, she lets rip a humdinger on the Great Senate Compromise, expanding on P.J. O'Rourke's basis rule that politics is the business of gaining power and status without merit.

Go. Read. You'll be glad you did.

UPDATE: Oh, I forgot to say it - We're not worthy!
