It’s true. Insert “invisible hand” joke here.

Anyway, I believe that’s the first half-assed pun we’ve made on the name of the representative from Washington’s 9th District. It probably won’t be the last. In all seriousness though, the Postman post linked above links to an article about a private mano-a-mano between former Clinton Treasury Secretary and free-trader Robert Rubin and labor chief John Sweeney.

Now that the Dems are in power again, there’s going to be a big fight over the Clinton free-trade legacy. You know where I stand on this, so there’s no sense in becoming a broken record. But it’s at least somewhat encouraging that Rubin and Sweeney are at least meeting once before they begin to grandstand with dueling press conferences and tear the Democratic party apart.
