The Frank Rich Smackdown of Lieberman. Must. Read.


Frank Rich, as always, nails a lid on their coffins.

Daily Kos: The Frank Rich Smackdown of Lieberman. Must. Read.:

Tonight Frank Rich took a steak knife out of his kitchen drawer and sharpened it. Then he filleted the entire right wing support for Lieberman, laid it out on the table and read the entrails. As usual, Mr. Rich finds meaning few other do. Here's a sample:

A similar panic can be found among the wave of pundits, some of them self-proclaimed liberals... Whatever their political affiliation, almost all of
these commentators suffer from the same syndrome: they supported the Iraq war
and, with few exceptions (mainly at The Wall Street Journal and The Weekly Standard), are now embarrassed that they did. Desperate to assert their moral superiority after misjudging a major issue of our time, they loftily declare
that anyone who shares Mr. Lamont's pronounced opposition to the Iraq war is not really serious about the war against the jihadists who attacked us on 9/11.
