The administration about nothing

Hilarious comparison of Obama and George Costanza from the Seinfeld show by James Taranto.

Here are the first two paragraphs.

“Reader Daniel Loomis sends along his capsule summary of "The Summer of George," the eighth-season finale of "Seinfeld," which aired May 15, 1997: "George uses his severance from the Yankees to stimulate the perfect summer--the 'Summer of George'--but spends it playing frolf (frisbee golf), watching 'The White Shadow,' 'investing' in a recliner with a built-in refrigerator, taking midmorning naps, banging his head on tables, and having insignificant telephone conversations. Eventually, he ends up in the hospital having to relearn to walk."

“And here is Loomis's capsule summary of "The Summer of Recovery," the finale of the first full season of "Obama," a midseason replacement that premiered to hype and high ratings but is now struggling and may face cancellation: "Barack uses his trillion dollar stimulus to create the best summer ever--the 'Recovery Summer'--but wastes hundreds of billions on things like studies on how cocaine affects monkeys, investigating the link between yoga and hot flashes, bus-stop art, international ant research, and an upgrade to the statehouse and political offices in Topeka, Kan. Eventually, the economy ends up barely ambulatory."”


Spot on.
