The Coastal Elite are only now, two years later, realizing what the Heartland knew all along; that President Bush was and is right.
Now they pretend that they've all made some great new discovery. It's the "tipping point" they opine, as if using a fancy term will distract their audience from their failure to see that it all "tipped" a full 2 years ago.
Suddenly, the Coastal Elite want to be on the right side of history by finally supporting the spreading of freedom in Lebanon, Togo, Liberia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and perhaps even Iran.
No doubt they'll think that they discovered *that*, too!
