A Must Read
On Sunday, I posted a quick blurb about the laugh-inducing article by William Kristol in the Washington Post. Today, David Corn rips Kristol a new one with his rebuttal article, "Why Bush is a Loser".
The Bush-Cheney years have been marked by ineptitude, miscalculation, and scandal. A successful presidency? Bush will be lucky if he gets a public elementary school in his adopted hometown of Crawford, Tex., named after him. He has placed this country in a hole. Yet Kristol, with shovel in hand, points to that hole and says, Trust me -- we're about to strike oil!
If it's true that history repeats first as tragedy and then as farce, Kristol has short-circuited the process and gone straight to parody. His Bush boosterism -- an act of self-justification -- would be amusing were it not for all the damage he has helped Bush to cause.
Read the whole thing, it's well worth it.
