Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes

MMMM, SUMMITS!

They're starting to catch onto this summit thing.

Indeed, in the age of Obama, the summit has replaced the vaunted bipartisan commission as the ultimate empty gesture. Where a president once kicked a nettlesome political problem down the road by assembling a panel of bipartisan worthies to produce a report on entitlement reform, say, or how we made the mistake of thinking Saddam had WMDs, Obama now holds a confab to jawbone the problem to death. Even better, unlike with a bipartisan commission, with a summit, there’s no final report to have to contend with.

    The summit. The latest fad in the fantasy world and economics of today's NeoCom Statist Destructionist Party.

    The summit: carefully selected members sure to endorse the next Porkulus spending bill. (hey, the first stimulus worked - unemployment is down to 10% - quit your complaining, Conservatives.)
