Taking the gloves off

Kevin Drum, of Washington Monthly, a generally very even keel guy, can't withhold his contempt for Ashcroft's suggestion that a victory for Kerry is a victory for Al Qaeda.

What a despicable worm. What a revolting, loathsome, toad.

Blogs are wonderful things. Reported by a newspaper, this suggestion would either be completely glossed over, or at the most, would be reported like this: "Mr. Ashcroft seems to be suggesting that a Kerry victory would be perceived by Al Qaeda as proof of the effectiveness of terrorist measures." In a blog, such suggestions can be treated with the thoroughgoing contempt they deserve.

And thank goodness for thoroughgoing contempt. Thank goodness, too, for the excellent homemade cheesy-chive bread I just enjoyed. Damn good stuff.
