Digby Says It
Another example of what you are missing if you don't read Digby every day, as I have for years:
"...according to (N. Y. Times moron- clarification GE's) Nagourney the Democrats are boldly defying their base in spite of their fear they will desert them as Bush's did. Except, I don't think Bush's base actually deserted him, did it? Sure, today you can't find a hard core Republican who will admit to ever supporting Bush, but that doesn't make it true now does it? In fact, the base stuck with him through every thing he did, the spending, the wars, the malfeasance, the torture, all of it. They worshipped him like a God for years. Only after the fact has the base purged Bush, using a recently discovered "liberalism" to explain his catastrophic failure. It's the only way they can understand their world. "
The most truth in the fewest words- Digby's specialty.
The only disagreement I have with her is the conclusion that this is the only way they can understand their world. I would have said that it's the only way they can lie their way out of the predictable consequences of their behavior, like five year olds claiming that the cookie jar got on the kitchen floor all by itself.
