Roll Reversal

I've certainly given Glenn G. shit, but I'll certainly join him as he rolls in the cool, wonderful mud of goofball GOPsters crying Waco! and letting slip the dogs of blawg. This being America, we can congratulate ourselves once more on the "peaceful transition of power," a feat which occurs nowhere else on earth, ever, and which, when power changes factional hands, invariably features the newly ousted discovering the necessary limits on government power lest we surrender to tyranny &c., while the newly empowered embrace the wise and necessary employ of maximum destruction, lest we succumb to terror or instability or whatever. I mean, Rick Perry, guvnir ah Taxis, has discovered the 10th Amendment, and Donks discover Ohmahgawd terrizm! Wuddawurldwelivein!

Really I had no idea Greenwald was such a master of sarcasm. He rarely puts it on display like that...

Oh god, give me a couple minutes before I try to read the rest of Greenwald's article. I'll never make it past that sentence.

greenwald is such a grating jack-ass. even when he is on-point with something (as he is here) he manages to irritate me with some childish krugman-esque comment/put-down of his ideological 'opposites' (his Jonah comment) that makes me wonder about the voracity of the argument to come.

i live with a guy like this. he acts as if every time he talks to you he is doing you a favor. smarmy fuck.

Jonah Goldberg deserves any invective and/or rotten tomatoes you can throw at him. Look at Greenwald's second update there, for crying out loud.

You know, it amazes me how easily the Republicans can just spin around and disagree with everything they said six months ago.

It seems to me the Democrats lay the groundwork for a newly discovered love of fighting terrorists when they're out of power. How many people said that we should be focusing on winning Afghanistan instead of distracted in Iraq while the Republicans were still in power?

The Republicans just sort of ignore the past and the future, living in the now.
