Conservatives who want to back this bailout should think twice,
lest they earn the wrath of my fearsome new colleague Matthew "The
Scalpel" Vadum. He gives it to Larry
Kudlow good, concluding, "The late Italian dictator Benito
Mussolini would be proud that decades after his former subjects
hung his lifeless body upside down on meat hooks at an Esso
gasoline station in Milan's Piazzale Loreto that his
once-discredited ideas had become so popular in America's corridors
of power."
