Will on a Tancredo Candidacy

George Will's coumn in today's WP is mostly positive about a Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) run for the presidency. I say mostly positive, because the last sentence would seem to be positive, on first read, but at the same time compares Tancredo to Al Sharpton, which strikes me as a bit odd.

Link.

But, as always, Will's over-the-top style drives me nuts. Some are "incandescent with anger"? That must hurt. And I really hope that Bay Buchanan doesn't want to be Sancho Panza to Tancredo's Don Quixote. Because that would mean that she thinks he's crazy. Not to mention that, if Will really means to describe Tancredo's quest as quixotic, then that means that Will doesn't really think (illegal) immigration is a real problem. But that doesn't seem to be what he means, at all, from the rest of the column. "Quixotic," like Catch-22, is one of those terms almost never used correctly.

OK, enough. I should just avoid reading these things.
