Secretary Duncan tells a self-selected audience what they want to hear. The gullible Mr Hess is impressed. Why? There was no courage, no exceptional honesty, or unusual insight on display.

Did the Secretary suggest how courageous members of elected school boards could survive the opposition of unionized public-sector employees? No.
He killed the DC voucher program. Who cares what a liar says?
Longhorn nation has to be grateful to accept him, they haven’t had a BOOM moment all season.
Oi vey…don’t I know it!
