"A thought experiment: On Twin Earth, does anyone call President John McCain the “food-stamp president”? Is it “politically incorrect” there to call him that? Or is it just so tactically weird to pin that label on a white Republican who inherited a huge recession that the idea simply never occurred to anyone? If, back in our world, it’s not “politically correct” and not tactically weird to pin that label on a black Democrat who inherited a huge recession, then why not?"
