Curtis: I like your metaphor because I find it illustrative in a way of this kind of um Hopium that I feel like you're smoking and The little West Wing dorks. He says the body politic is being sick with a virus or bacterium, which are different things but they have something in common. "I see a bunch of people out there kind of treating Cancer with penicillin Or pretending to treat cancer with peniillin," he said. 'It's sort of like the way McCarthy thought about communism in the 1950s,' Curtis added.
