TRAPPED IN A WORLD HE NEVER MADE ... OH, WAIT, ACTUALLY, HE DID MAKE IT

Jonah Goldberg at National Review Online today:

At a candidate forum for trial lawyers in Chicago on Sunday, Hillary Clinton proclaimed that the Bush administration is "the most radical presidency we have ever had."

This is, quite simply, absurd. But such boob-bait for the Bush bashers is common today in Democratic circles, just as similar right-wing rhetoric about Bill Clinton was par for the course a decade ago. The culture war, it seems, has distorted how we view politics more than we realized....

Indeed, you can be sure that if Hillary Clinton is elected president, someone will denounce her as "the most radical president we’ve ever had" -- whether it’s true or not.

Really, Jonah? What sort of irresponsible boob-baiting scoundrel would say a thing like that?



Book Description

... Jonah Goldberg shows that the original fascists were really on the Left and that liberals, from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton, have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler’s National Socialism....

Shameless bastard.

(Oh, by the way, the Amazon page for Goldberg's book has the new title, which doesn't mention Hillary, but some wag has labeled the forthcoming volume a "Foam Book" and Goldberg as a "Colorist." Cute....) (UPDATE, THURSDAY: Oops -- the vandalism is gone. Drat!)
