DER SPIEGEL ON THE GONG SHOW

(h/t The Dish)

Scott Horton translated this demolition of the Republican presidential candidates:
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Republican Party. Or rather: to the distorted world of its presidential campaign.
...and nothing is ever too unfathomable for them… These eight presidential wannabes are happy enough not only to demolish their own reputations but also that of their party, the once worthy party of Abraham Lincoln. They are also ruining the reputation of the United States.

They lie, deceive, scuffle and speak every manner of idiocy. And they expose a political, economic, geographic and historical ignorance compared to which George W. Bush sounds like a scholar.

Platitudes in lieu of programs: in serious times that demand the smartest, these clowns offer blather that is an insult to the intelligence of all Americans.

UPDATE: Der Spiegel now has an English version.

But, as I repeat, it is key that Occupy resist absorption by the Democratic Party elite. So far so good.
