Tim Kaine, and Other Faith-Based Politics
It's not just that Clinton's vice presidential pick is terrible, it's being sold as a triumph.

Christ on a stick, this is what I didn’t count on with the Kaine pick as VP.
The problem isn’t the pick itself: it is what it is (see #2 below). The problem is the ejaculations of joy it prompts among the pundit class and the Twitterati, who now have to sell it to us as the greatest choice of a second since Moses appointed Aaron.
And not because the pundits are on the Clinton payroll: I’d have a lot more respect for them if they were.
