"A Vortex of Insanity"

Democrats in Self-Destruct Mode CLXXXIV

At Real Clear Politics, Feb. 11:

I didn't really want to get into the nitty-gritty middle of the Bush National Guard story, but I find myself there anyway. After watching the absolutely disgraceful performance by reporters at yesterday's White House press briefing, it looks as if we've now fully entered a vortex of insanity.

Scott McClellan stood at the podium with two new pieces of documentation, released as promised, supporting Bush's claim that he fulfilled his service requirements. Together with his honorable discharge, that makes three pieces of evidence that, at an absolute minimum, refute the AWOL charge against Bush.

It simply didn't matter. The press was completely impervious to the presentation of evidence that might in any way be seen as exonerating the President. They sniffed and sneered at the documents for a few minutes and then went on to obliterate McClellan with questions demanding a level of detail about events 30+ years ago that simply boggled the mind....

(Thanks, Peter.)
