62. Overdoing the sweetie-pie/tough-guy stuff

It's a problem. It should have been simple to figure out that Al Franken was a good place to draw the line on the "moral panic overdo of Me Too." The whole world, along with the Democratic Party, would have been so much better off.

We take a good idea up to the point where it works optimally, but then we keep cranking until it becomes a bad idea. It's a human bugaboo.
