The truth is more mundane on Ritter’s left turn. Before he joined the dark side he was in high demand as a speaker on Iraq and against Saddam. But as all things come to an end, so did his fifteen minutes. He went from speaking to large crowds in big venues to small groups in unheated church basements. So then he struck on the idea of being against everything America and the anti Bush. How ordinary. It also gave him cover for his trips to the Burger King play with yourselflands. Worked for him for a little while but being libgod of the moment only lasts so long.
The Ritter episode was strange. For us. Then against us. Then in the clink. Something smelled.
