ALTERMAN: TOO MUCH TO TAKE

[dArKeR]

The cover-up at the top regarding the torture scandal, coupled with the point that torturing didn't work very well even when judged on its own terms, coupled with the fact that Iraq seems to have turned into Heritage Foundation Happy Hour, Mid-East Division, and noting that Al Qaida has fully reconstituted itself, it’s everything I can do not to want to slam my friends who supported this bit of extended insanity against the wall and demand to know if they’re any better now.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Judy Miller is available, one way or another, on Romenesko and here where you can also find the Pew survey which we’ve not discussed much either, but I think is pretty consistent with What Liberal Media if you are not an idiot. 

And then there’s the problem of the cover-up at the top regarding the torture scandal, coupled with the point that torturing didn't work very well even when judged on its own terms.  Coupled with the fact that Iraq seems to have turned into Heritage Foundation Happy Hour, Mid-East Division --talk about “torture”-- and noting that Al Qaida has fully reconstituted itself (and here), it’s everything I can do not to want to slam my friends who supported this bit of extended insanity against the wall and demand to know if they’re any better now.

Anyway, John Kerry's foreign policy is another big problem, particularly in light of Al Gore’s. 

Taken together, it’s all too much for a guy with a new (Sony) computer, which now needs a new printer, since mine doesn’t seem to connect, and has to completely re-load his iPod, and try to find a whole bunch of software discs that may never have made the move, without much help from Sony customer service, I might add.  Good thing for all of us that a number of people thought to write me about something other than lists of their favorite hip-hop records.  (Thanks for nothing, Siva.)  As Eric B. has been too busy with Rush to contribute much lately, Let’s begin with Dr. E, II.

1. Interesting, with some nice links.

I especially liked the "Heritage Foundation Happy Hour, Mid-East Division" recruitment story.

Actually, "liked" isn't exactly the right word.
