Rick Moron auditioning for a gig at National Review. The country is at war and Rick is upset that he can’t enjoy Friday afternoon happy hour. Watch out Peggy Noonan, you have competition. Bush was far from perfect, as every president is. However, Moron falls into the all too common 21st post modern argument that everything is foreseeable, and thereby preventable. That we can control all things at all times. This misconception is magnified by 24 media coverage which has a short term mentality that can do nothing but criticize in order to get its ratings.

Funny how Manassass (I and II), Fredericksburg, Chanslerville, Cold Harbor, Wilderness, Chickamauga are all erased from Rick Moron’s assessment of greatness. To win a war by means of attrition puts Lincoln in the same category as Stalin as a great military leader.

But NR reckons so expect to see more of these ill-conceived diatribes. Rick, have a drink at Happy Hour for me, maybe 3-4 and tell your friend Peggy Noonan to go to hell while you are at it.
