In an article on right-wing bloggers just now turning on Bush, spotted a comment I found amusing:
Many bloggers said they are disappointed the president has pushed so hard for the immigration bill while letting the war and other issues conservatives care about fall by the wayside.
“The White House will go out and zealously promote Harriet Miers [the former White House counsel who Bush unsuccessfully nominated for the Supreme Court], defend [Attorney General] Alberto Gonzales, promote this bill, but will not take a firm stand on the war,” said [managing editor of RedState.com Eric] Erickson. “I know people who are boiling with rage that the president has been beating up his own side over this bill but won’t take the bully pulpit to beat up Democrats over the war.” (emphasis mine)
Ah, yes, “the war”, specifically the one that a majority of the population thinks was a dumb idea & wants to end soon. Eric’s two cents on this utter disaster, which when it’s all said and done may rank up there with Napoleon trying to invade Russia, is “Bush wasn’t on-message enough!” Sure, even more “disagreement = treason” talk would do the trick, yeah, right…
If I wanted to hear a completely unreasonable opinion on something, I’d ask a 4-year-old about the merits of eating crayons.
