I absolutely love this paragraph, Bill. Talk about your internal self contradictions. Accusing the Dems of hatred and contempt in sentences that more than reek of same. This guy has gone over the edge.

>>>>many elements of the Democratic Party, including most of its base and many of its most conspicuous leaders, seem deranged, unhinged by the toxic fumes of hatred and contempt they emit for the president. From what does this arise? It cannot just be Florida, the grievance that Democrats, assiduous cultivators of victimhood, love to nurse. No, many Democrats' problem, which threatens to disqualify their party from presidential responsibilities for a generation, is their incontinent love of snobbery and nostalgia -- condescension toward a president they consider ignorant, and a longing for the fun of antiwar days of yore.

Bill, I've done a bit of thinking about this bit of poison from George Will and I'm struck by the assymetry of it all. If I posted something from the farthest reaches of the left, to get as far out as Will now is, with this level of vitriol, you would go into absolutely hysterics. Can't say that about Bush, etc. stuff.

You keep complaining that the folk who are opposed to this invasion (not the "anti-war crowd") are getting shriller every day. If I had not over used my supply of "chuckles" on CB, I would drop another. And if Win had not over used the complete thread supply of "irony," I would use that. But, well, you get the idea.
