Yesterday’s WSJ Opinion Page carried this choice bit of wankery, claiming that The Treatment of Bush Has Been a Disgrace Even by the WSJ Tin Foil Hat (that was for Joanne) standards, this is off the charts rich:
The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have. The president is not to blame for all these problems. He never lost faith in America or her people, and has tried his hardest to continue leading our nation during a very difficult time.
Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty — a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.
I think that this says that the reason that Bush is a failure is because we were mean to him. One way or another, we are to blame for the man’s total failure. And our failure helps the terrorists. Which is true, since as we’ve seen just one day after the election, the proud marching of the Soviet flag during daylight hours in Sussex County.
