The Left Keeps Hoping
If you have been out of touch over the last couple of weeks, much has been written about President Bush’s choice to replace Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court. Conservatives have banged away at each other with verbal volleys, one side for, the other side against Bush’s pick.
In Fact so much has been written, Howard Fineman wrote an article a few days ago entitled, Conservative Crackup, where he states:
“The “movement” —that began 50 years ago with the founding of Bill Buckley’s National Review; that had its coming of age in the Reagan Years; that reached its zenith with Bush’s victory in 2000—is falling apart at the seams.”
Unfortunately for Mr. Fineman, Rush Limbaugh has dissected his piece, and wrote on Monday in the Opinion Journal Online, There’s a crackdown over Miers, not a “crackup.”. Using logic and reasoning against Mr. Fineman’s article, he says this:
“The real crackup has already occurred–on the left! The Democratic Party has been hijacked by 1960s retreads like Howard Dean; billionaire eccentrics like George Soros; and leftwing computer geeks like Moveon.org. It nominated John Kerry, a notorious Vietnam-era antiwar activist, as its presidential standard-bearer. Its major spokesmen are old extremists like Ted Kennedy and new propagandists like Michael Moore. Its great presidential hope is one of the most divisive figures in U.S. politics, Hillary Clinton. And its favorite son is an impeached, disbarred, held-in-contempt ex-president, Bill Clinton.”
On another front, the left has done everything they can to pull a scandal out of the alleged Joe Wilson-Valerie Plame leak. Mark Kilmer over at Red State writes an article, What’s New with the Joe Wilson scandal. Here is a taste:
“Don’t let the press lull you to sleep with their gawdawful grasping at evanescent straws, re: the Joe Wilson scandal™. There could be big stuff afoot.”
Kilmer’s last line is the greatest!
“I almost feel bad for these folks. Someone give them a decent scandal.”
