<snip>Max Boot, on the other hand, was wrong about Iraq, wrong about weapons of mass destruction, wrong about the occupation and dangerously wrong about the edifying effects all this would have on the Middle East.

Why are we still paying attention to these neoconservatives at all? If a doctor diagnoses you as having cancer and prescribes a dangerous treatment for it, and then you go to another doctor who shows that the first diagnosis was wrong and the chemotherapy and surgery were unnecessary, you don't go back to the first doctor to ask what he thinks. You sue him for every dollar he has, and then you go after his license to practice.

1. Even "cakewalk Adelman" was on teevee insisting he was right

They own the media and will have the microphone no matter how wrong they are.

2. It's infuriating to see these rotten scalawags with airtime on Blitzer& Timmeh

they all live in an alternative universe, not just the Shrimp in Chief.

Disgusting and appalling.

3. "Why are we still paying attention to these neoconservatives at all?"

EXACTLY!

Who in the world is stupid enough to put a microphone in front of these idiots anymore, let alone listen to what they say? They have been wrong about everything. EVERYTHING.

And yet this farce of a media we have plants the same old asses in the chairs to deliver "analysis" day after day after day.

As a former Journalist, back when it was actually spelled with a capital "J" because we felt privileged to be part of an important profession... well, I mourn the death of Journalism almost every day.

:(

4. I say, not NeoConservatives, but conservatives entirely

5. You'd think it would negatively affect their reputations

Goes to prove that the American attention span is so short they just don't remember him and what he said before.

They can flip-flop and you can even point to it and it seems to do no good. For example, you can find quotes on how the Republics were against Clinton's war and against Clinton bombing Afghanistan even to go after Al Qaeda, but they never seem to pay for that, they just get away with blaming Clinton for not doing it, now.

Yeah, the media is owned by the libruls, all right. :sarcasm:
