Frank Rich is Rich...

This line made me laugh out loud as I read it...

General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker could grab an hour of prime television time only by slinking into the safe foxhole of Fox News, where Brit Hume chaperoned them on a gloomy, bunkerlike set before an audience of merely 1.5 million true believers. Their "Briefing for America," as Fox titled it, was all too fittingly interrupted early on for a commercial promising pharmaceutical relief from erectile dysfunction.

OMG, that is freakin' hilarious and so clearly Ironic that Andy Warhol must be smiling somewhere...

The rest of the column in Sundays NYT, is a real good read...

Crack me right the fuck up...

1. From the column, offered without comment-yet:

Americans are looking for leadership, somewhere, anywhere. At least one of the Democratic presidential contenders might have shown the guts to soundly slap the "General Betray-Us" headline on the ad placed by MoveOn.org in The Times, if only to deflate a counterproductive distraction. This left-wing brand of juvenile name-calling is as witless as the "Defeatocrats" and "cut and run" McCarthyism from the right; it at once undermined the serious charges against the data in the Petraeus progress report (including those charges in the same MoveOn ad) and allowed the war's cheerleaders to hyperventilate about a sideshow. "General Betray-Us" gave Republicans a furlough to avoid ownership of an Iraq policy that now has us supporting both sides of the Shiite-vs.-Sunni blood bath while simultaneously shutting America's doors on the millions of Iraqi refugees the blood bath has so far created.

I liked this sentence a lot too:

And still every day is Groundhog Day.

Isn't that the godawful truth?

The column is a very good read....Thanks for posting it...

3. That IS what this is all about.

People who can't feel that life has meaning and purpose, can't feel like "men", can't feel motivated, can't the bonds of brotherhood, nor caring and affection without an enemy to define themselves and others.

4. Frank Rich is an excellent commentator on current events, however

I do disagree with his criticism of the Move-on ad..
