Paules, there are a lot of Dan Rather moments inside the leftist brain.

For example, when the British film maker stood up and told Al Gore directly that “polar bears are increasing in number.” Al Gore replied (just before his “people” cut the guy’s mike)

“You don’t believe polar bears are endangered ?”

Or when Newsweek editor Evan Thomas said he hoped the Ft. Hood assassin didn’t have an Islamic name, that he was just a guy going off his rocker, you know, like any other guy going off his rocker.

Same guy Evan Thomas (grandson of socialist Norman Thomas) said, after the Duke case unravelled and the accuser was shown to be a fraud, “the narrative was right, but the facts were wrong.”

We saw Barack Obama’s “race” narrative in play in the Henry Louis Gates affair.

In all areas of human endeavor, Leftists seem to be dedicated to some collectively agreed upon narrative, facts be damned. Their climate narrative is, of course, that climate change is human induced. Any information to the contrary is dismissed with a wave of the hand, and whole international bodies (and leaders) are on board for the agenda.

Envisioning themselves smarter than the hoi polloi and seeing themselves as purveyors of the greater good and destined to rule, in their view, their own explanations for any events that happen anywhere, anytime in the world trump the truth. They don’t seem the least bit taken aback when some pesky facts intrude on their delusions of grandeur.

This phenomenon relates to the growing power grab going on in Congress at the moment and the Barack Obama administration’s conviction that they are smarter and more enlightened than the writers of that 250 YO document that still manages (only slightly) to obstruct their version of a More Enlightened New World Order.

As for Dan Rather, he has lost any and all legal attempts to undo his CBS fiasco.

Justice survives, just barely.
