You are right, and it’s about time, that these nabobs of negativity are called out. They have been part of the anti-Bush chorus, too, for the past eight years. I view everyone connected with National Review as part of this group, with just a few exceptions.
Nattering naybobs indeed.
What bothers me about them is there lack of spine and lack of consistency, the chattering class was all in favor of the Iraq war, things got hard in Iraq, they jumped over the gunwales and let President Bush suffer a savaging.
Now that the Surge has worked, and Gen. Patraeus is the locus of success, they do not give him credit, quite the contrary, they now seek to throw Governor Palin over the same gunwale and leave John McCain to “fend for himself”.
Such people have little utility, indeed, they deserve no hearing.
