Bill Maxwell channels the Dread Pirate Roberts

Bill Maxwell of The St. Petersburg Times devoted his editorial column to the shiftiness of Barack Obama this week. Maxwell's column was short on specific criticisms, but I found one quotable paragraph, anyway:
I am newly attracted to the subject of disappointment because of the euphoria and pronouncements of "hope and change" surrounding the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama. Frankly, I have little regard for Obama's campaign because of its inherent falsity.
Maxwell appears to confuse thwarted plans with emotional disappointment in a column extolling the virtue of one, the other, or both. I'm still not sure which.
"Get used to disappointment."
--the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Maxwell's column is a bit of a disappointment.
