Analysis of the day, of the Wisconsin situation

From Clive Crook:
The main problem with Scott Walker's assault on public-sector unions in Wisconsin is not that it's unwarranted, but that it's disingenuous. 
Crook then zooms into the larger issues:
as FDR insisted, the public sector is a special case. It is one thing for unions to check the bargaining power of capitalists, another for them to check the bargaining power of taxpayers and their elected representatives.
The question for states and cities is not whether "collective bargaining" is a basic undeniable right, but how much union power in the public sector is too much.
Stephen Colbert says that it is time for Wisconsin to invade Iraq :)
Over to Jon Stewart then:
