More propaganda from the reprehensible WSJ

What Bush and Batman Have in Common

There seems to me no question that the Batman film "The Dark Knight," currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war. Like W, Batman is vilified and despised for confronting terrorists in the only terms they understand. Like W, Batman sometimes has to push the boundaries of civil rights to deal with an emergency, certain that he will re-establish those boundaries when the emergency is past.

1. Hmm... How can I give free advertising to a movie AND talk up Republican tactics?

I know! I'll write a ridiculous article with loose connections and a lot of stretches.

And people will say, Bush is a good thing because he is like Batman.

Thank goodness the people who read the WSJ are generally smart enough to know that's a bunch of crap.

4. The difference: Batman doesn't fantasize that he's Bush.
