The Other McCain

And Let Me Add, ‘Roll, Tide!’

Bemoaning the likelihood that Republicans will win their current battle with Democrats over extending the Bush tax cuts, progressive blogger David Kurtz reaches for an interesting analogy:

It reminds me of the line attributed to the old football coach Bum Phillips, speaking about the legendary Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant: “He can take his’n and beat your’n and take your’n and beat his’n.” Translated: He could beat you with his players then turn around and beat you with your players.

To quote a certain resident of Knoxville, “Heh.”

While I’m unwilling to attribute Bryant-esque strategic brilliance to GOP congressional leaders, it’s certainly pleasant to see liberals as demoralized as Tennessee fans on the Third Saturday in October — 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981 . . .
