To which, this riposte is apposite: Europe's political sensibility, sometimes called "realism" and accurately called the de-moralization of politics (politics in which the only important questions are, Do the trains run on time? Do the autobahns get built?), has been no impediment to the emergence of Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Franco and Hitler. So spare us your tutorials on political sophistication. Preposterous. In terms of logic, this makes no sense at all. Apples and oranges. The European point of view, correctly stated, is simply that a politician's sex life has nothing to do with ability to do his job. Somehow to equate this with the rise of Fascism and monolithic Communism is an extremely cheap shot. Sometimes, at least, Will is more intelligent than this. And doesn't he feel it's just the tiniest bit elitist to sneer at "vulgarians"? Next thing we know he'll be talking about "trailer trash".
