Woodward Wackjob
Lot's of noise about Woodward's book. Who cares? "State of Denial". What a perfect title. A nut calling the kettle a nut; or more carefully, a nut criticizing a sane man for not living in his moonbat wonderworld. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Dick Durban, Chuck Schummer, Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean... the entire MSM... are there any of these who can perceive a real world, a sane man, and courage? We do live in a world half nuts. I'm hoping it's 51 - 49.
Possibly at some point I will have to consider this seriously. That's hard. It does seem to me we live in two different worlds and that the right struggles to face and understand it and that the left doesn't but merely posits anything anti as true. With the left absolutely any assertion is true if it will damage Bush and help bring them back to power. For the left truth is not perception but assertion. "At least I tried" becomes courage. "Valerie Plame was covert", and by golly she still is. "We can't win in Iraq" means Bush is stupid and evil and arrogant, but "Immediate withdrawal", well maybe not yet. "Smarter" means repeating the word, "smarter", and that's as "smart" as it gets. "Water boarding is torture" means we're no better than them, we've lost the moral high ground and from now on forevermore our captured soldiers will be treated badly. Heavens. I don't know if this is just irresponsibility and valueless opportunism or it they're just nuts.
At any rate, for me, this is the mindset I expect of the book and as such it just doesn't compute. But I suppose it will be taken seriously, it will be discussed. After all, it is the kind of thing the left knows is true. Dan Rather would know it's true and Bill Clinton was our greatest president. (Can't you just leave the poor guy alone?)
