C-Span2 televised a series of panel conferences from authors on the right and the left who have recently written books on President Bush. The conservative conferences were interesting, but devoid, I thought, of anything approaching hysteria about the left's unyielding assaults on the president. They were just discussions from sober panelists, addressing various aspects of media bias and the like. But the liberal panel -- and I only watched parts of it -- featured New York Times Columnist Paul Krugman, New York liberal Mark Green, Sidney Blumenthal, and various others. I just want to call your attention to two comments, one by Mark Green and the other by Paul Krugman, that should give you some idea how pervasive the Bush hatred is among the left's intellectual elite.
First, I want to note how strikingly different the Bush supporters and the Bush haters view President Bush's character. http://www.davidlimbaugh.com/blog.aspx

Their promos and graphics promised Ann Coulter, but she wasn't there. Damn.
Good for you for engaging in such a productive conversation! You may not have convinced your coworker, but she may have at least thought about it later on. That's how we win -- get the truth out, one at a time.
