"Independent" in the same sense that Ken Starr was, meaning "not very independent" indeed!


Rhetorical Flourish

December 29th, 2007

Think Conservatives will still whine about Liberal Media Bias (especially at the NYT) after the Times announced it was hiring William Kristol for its opinion page?

Of course.

Barack Obama has unveiled his “one-two punch” for the closing days in Iowa. My favorite part of the article?

“This is a defining moment,” the Illinois senator told an enthusiastic audience of 300 in the Washington Middle School gym in this eastern Iowa river town late Friday afternoon. “We cannot wait to fix our schools, we cannot wait to stop climate change, we cannot wait to get universal health care… and we cannot wait to bring this war in Iraq to an end.”

I feel sorry for those people who truly believe any of that. I imagine Obama would support the Iraq War for awhile after elected on the advice of military men and the rest are rather ridiculous and broad promises that nobody could possibly deliver.

Is that too cynical of me?
