I wonder if, wherever he is, WFB isn't cursing himself for having unleashed Jo-NAH on his creation, for this is clearly his work, though it bears another's credit and none of his Frank Rich snark. I would let this pass without comment except the kind of high profile MENSA types who must obsess over this masterpiece are exactly the same types we dismissed after POLITICO ran that POLL. Even if FOUR MILLION AMERICANS watch this FOURTH COMING over 300 MILLION AMERICANS WON'T. The Greatest Pop-Culture-Achievement of the Last Quarter Century drew no more than TWELVE THIRTEEN MILLION. These obsessions speak to the disconnect of the ruling class as much as a love for His Omnipotence -- and they know no political bounds.

(Correction on 7/24/2010 at 7:00 p. m. It is hard to get precise numbers on Greatest but I gather the immortality seldom gathered more than ten million -- and we should not forget despite its immortality there's little evidence it helped THE GREATEST NETWORK OF ALL TIME gain subscribers, and if it did it was in the usual self-obsessed towns. Those who watched, watched, and most of America ignored.)
