The earth's core, consisting largely of iron, helps balance our spinning planet. On the other hand, the core of too many of today's prominent political leaders consists almost entirely of unintended irony, which tends to make them go all wobbly on their political stands. This might be comical were it not so destructive for our nation.
GritTV with Laura Flanders
Hightower joined Laura Flanders in studio at GritTV recently to talk about the economy, populism, the Supreme Court and Citizens United, and more."The problem is us," says Hightower. The problem is progressives, weak-willed Democrats, and others who have forgotten that our politics is meant to serve the people. We've allowed conservative demagogues like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin to seize the title of "populist" from the left.
