Great post at Cold Fury today-- a delicious juxtaposition in Mike's hometown newspaper between dueling editorialists, one of whose theses is thoroughly supported by the news of the day (in the same paper) and the other of whose winds up squashed into the ground by same. As Mike puts it:
Yep, they sometimes juxtapose Dowd's droolings with Charles Krauthammer's razor-sharp writing, and I swear it's kind of jarring, like putting a filet mignon on a dinner plate next to a steaming turd. Or really, it's more as if they present us with an annoying, buzzing, bloodsucking insect and then thoughtfully provide us with a really large flyswatter just as a favor.
He quotes both columns at length, and to my mind they speak for themselves-- it should be self-evident which side has its head in the clouds and which one is fixated, however damned pragmatically, upon planet Earth.
