Odd how so much of this parallels the WaPo / NYT fiascos over Joe Wilson’s ego-driven fabrications:
ideological blindness on the part of agenda-driven journalists;
a trusted insider brings in a spouse who turns out to be a liar;
fabrications directly attacking the military’s role (ultimately aimed squarely at President Bush) in defending the U.S. in particular and Western Civilization in general;
the ego of the fabricator overriding any compunction with respect to the truth (sociopath?);
ideologically-driven attacks against bystanders or those who seek to expose the lies, instead of holding the liar himself to account.
There are probably more. The most glaring common denominator, however, is the blinding hatred of the hard left and the extent to which they’ll go to push a dead ideology, though the heavens – and reality itself – fall.
