The Right Choice?

Who is the most over-rated person in public life? Ellisblog! has long maintained that former Senator George Mitchell (D-ME) is in a class by himself in this category.  So one can read his appointment as the State Department's special envoy for Arab-Israeli affairs one of two ways: (1) President Obama's third big mistake, or (2) exactly what Mitchell deserves.  Ellisblog!, always looking on the sunny side of life, says: kharmic justice at last.
