HTML Mencken has words for the mushy middle of the US progressive blogosphere and the allegedly liberal media:
[…]
Some people would rather be nice than be right, than right a wrong, than prevent the next fucking catastrophe even as the current one engulfs everything in flames: better, it seems, to be civil to the idiots than embrace a principle of decency. Because, after all, the idiots are on the side of angels now!
Well, whoopdie fucking doo. Look at what it took for these people to finally get a clue.
Even now they don’t have a clue: they don’t have a clue about their own culpability for Iraq and the sheer amount of rhetorical blood on their hands. Fuck ’em, they don’t deserve civility or a pulpit in the media.
