Hands down.” Whenever I encounter such people I walk the other way for fear that such stupidity might be contagious. The article you posted is guilty of exactly the same rhetorical transgressions that it purports to critisize. The Bush administration has reason to worry that they will be classified by historians as the worst administration in the history of the country. Other administrations have had fiscal mismanagement or unsusessful wars or ethical lapses, but seldom or never all at once. This excessive rhetoric of calling the examination of that ranking stupid is just an attempt to pull that debate off the table. The question is neither far fetched or stupid. This is exactly the same kind of tactic as saying that those who doubted WMDs were unpatriotic or those don't support the death penalty want criminals to roam the streets. What makes this particular incarnation of the argument so transparent is that the refutation of it's own logic takes up the bulk of the article. One might almost be tempted to think the author was trying to use irony to make a point, except it doesn't really read that way. It reads like hypocrasy instead. TP
