“...wigged aristocrats on their way to the Guillotine”

Hope 'ol Danny-boy tips the guy dropping the 'slicer'.

For a small pittance... they used to resharpen the blade to ensure a clean cut.

When dealing with sooo many customers, the blade... alas... loses its edge and the process becomes redundant.

VDH should have his own television show just for the sake of a wider audience. He is terrific.

Its interesting since Victor Davis Hanson is a conservative Democrat. He despises his own party for trashing both its soul and and its best causes in the pursuit of power and naked expediency. No wonder they've long had it coming to them.

The libs are going supernova. They'll end up as a white dwarf glowing inconspicuously in a corner of our consciousness.

Well, that does a pretty good job of 'splaining it. Arrogance and Hypocrisy have been the suicidal weapons of modern Liberalism. Is a Liberal just naturally a spoiled arrogant, hypocritical brat out of which spouts Liberal thought as a matter of course, or is Liberal thought and teaching presented in the public school system without much competition resulting in whole new crops of Liberals who didn't use their brain cells to reason things out? Which came first, the Liberal chicken or the Liberal egg? Is Liberalism merely a personality disorder that has been allowed to seek its level like water?

>Mr. Rather would do well to remember Leo Amery's famous evocation of Cromwell . . .

Everyone who quotes
the Protector would do well
to remember what

happened when he died.
(And the extremes he went to
to "protect" England

while he was alive.
It's not at all clear he was
really a good guy . . .)

Thanks for the VDH post and ping!

I am glad to have known before Rathergate.

Imagine the shock of finding out your "friends" on TV and in "hometown" papers have been deceiving you - after election 2000, 911, and after over 18 months of daily spinning re. Iraq?

I felt so guilty about Vietnam - for having betrayed our veterans by believing Walter Cronkite and Hollywood lies.

We didn't have access to the primary sources then.

We may need a national period of mourning, forgiveness, to get beyond this latest national shame - the latest betrayal of all we hold dear by our own mighty free press, and those who bought the slickly packaged lies.

...millions of Americans learned long ago that there are probably more liberals on Fox than conservatives on PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC combined — and the former are honest about politics in a way the latter are not.

But the regime is crumbling on campuses as well.

I pray that it is so.

Bookmarked. This is an indictment of a profoundly dishonest generation of political enthusiasts, and one of the finest pieces I have seen on the topic. The better part of the Democratic party - the Millers, the Hansons - sits back appalled at the wreckage these people have visited on one of the pillars of our republic.

The purging will have to come from within - Republicans can't do it. It is high time for the party of Scoop Jackson, Hubert Humphrey, and Harry Truman to find its soul again after a nightmare tramp through the swamp of postmodern nihilism, courtesy of the folks - the Clintons, the Kerrys - who imagined they were freeing the world when they spit on the troops lo those many years ago. It will not be easy. They are at the high arc of their political careers and will not go quietly.

Hillary in particular intends to resurrect their effort four years hence. That, I suspect, will represent the final battle for the soul of a generation. The battle-lines are being drawn in this election, the veterans have awakened and are discovering that at last they have a voice, and the forces that shouted them down thirty years ago are surprised and shaken, but not defeated. This is going to be a long struggle.

The mama pajama rolled out of bed
She ran to the PC station
When the papa Freeped out, he began to shout
And he started the investigation
Forging’s against the law, Rather’s against the law
What the mama saw, it was against the law
Now mama looks down and spits on the ground
Every time Rather’s name gets mentioned
The papa said, "Oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"
Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Danny, the King of Media
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
Now when the FR Poster came to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
I'm taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Danny, the King of Media
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard.

Hanson, Steyn, Coulter... name a writer on the left that can hold a candle to any them. Another great commentary from Hanson. He puts a sharp stick right in CBS's lying "eye".
