QOTD: 05/12/2009
DougJ on why Richard Cohen keeps gleefully sucking Cheney’s dick:
It’s a perfect example of the Slate/TNR/WaPo tendency towards “what if genocide is good for housing prices” contrarianism. You know the drill: (a) we live in a dangerous world filled with “messy” choices and (b) it’s important to challenge complacent “consensus” by thinking “outside the box.”
Indeed. It’s this sort of tortured logic that brought us Operation Iraqi Liberation, turning housing loans and investment banking into one giant game of Calvinball, and the politicization of the Justice Department. If Cohen were even remotely interested in being anything other than a dishonest hack advancing a partisan agenda, he’d recognize this, and stop his pathetic efforts at defending it.
