Am well aware of Wanniski's rap sheet.  Whenever his comments are cited on
the LBO list, which happens with fair frequency, it sets off smoke alarms
all over the place.  In general I think supply-siders should be sent to the
nethermost circle of the Inferno; they played a leading role in the
conservative ascendancy of the last two decades that now seems destined to
extend to a thousand-year reich.  But credit where it's due:  Wanniski does
a good job summing up the case against Sachs.
