One last thing

This article by Jonah Goldberg, while I guarantee it'll make your liberal blood boil with indignation if not downright loathing, carries a deeper message for me. For the first time in my memory, I'm seeing conservatives react like, well, like pissed-off liberals! Not cocky and smug and full of their own disingenuous vitriol (yes okay there's still plenty of disingenuous vitriol in this article) but over-the-top angry and bellicose, as though their golden balloon might suddenly be getting in serious danger of going kaboom.. The thought that they might actually be this desperate, really actually worried, hot under the collar - and this essay is over-the-top - is actually heartening in its dismal, depressing way... Just like their president, when things go south with their own misbegotten plans, they always know where to point the finger - at someone else, a convenient scapegoat.

Still, you may do as I did as a conscientious objector to this war from long before it became a reality and fire off a righteous email telling him to look long and hard in a mirror and save his indignant shame for no one but himself and those like himself who wholeheartedly supported this president, banging their fists against their self-righteous chests, as he ran pell mell into a war for which he was not prepared... but don't bother - his email is completely full (probably with emails not unlike my own) and your message will just get bounced back...
