Thursday Short Cuts

“Good government is the most dangerous government, because it deprives people of the need to look after themselves.” —Gandhi (1869-1948)

Demo-gogues: “[Benjamin Netanyahu’s peace proposal] has so many caveats, so many conditions, that it is not realistic to think that those conditions would be met any time in the near future. And so the danger here is that Israel as a whole loses credibility. Already, the international community does not believe that Israel is serious about a two-state solution.” —Barack Obama (With friends like these…)

Village Idiots: “In the last year, the administration processed 647,000 FOIA requests that we received from the public. I would note that that is 647,000 more FOIA requests than were processed by the United States Congress. Those who are genuinely interested in advocating for transparency in government should advocate for Congress being subject to those transparency measures.” —Obama spokesman Josh Earnest, defending the “Most Transparent Administration in History™” from its opaque record

Non Compos Mentis: “[I]f the Supreme Court were to throw the health care system in this country into utter chaos, there would be no easy solution for solving that problem because it would likely require an act of Congress in order to address that situation.” —Josh Earnest (It would have been nice if this administration had thought twice about throwing the system into chaos to begin with.)

Nothing to see here: “[T]he notion in the [New York Times] story that Western officials or U.S. officials involved were unaware [that Iran is increasing its nuclear stockpile] or not understanding of what this entails is just absurd. Under the [agreement], Iran can fluctuate its numbers in terms of their stockpile. They can go up and down as long as at the end of fixed date they are back down below a number.” —State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf
