You set the bar so high that his attempts to live up to your expectations were doomed to fail. Now you are among his fiercest critics, highlighting his failures almost with a sense of glee.

The open bar at Medaterra got quite a workout, with young conservatives ordering everything from beer to shots of redheaded sluts, a crimson concoction involving Jägermeister. (After some debate, no one was game enough to try a flaming redheaded slut.) Breitbart and the rest of the Louisiana Four - as they were...
