The Sad State of the Righty Blogosphere
It's interesting...I can remember a time when these folks actually talked with people in the left blogosphere -- not block their readers. Believe it or not, I used to occasionally have contact with Jane Galt and Clayton Cramer.
But when their pet war turned out to be a disaster based on lies they had peddled, they stopped talking to us at all. I noticed all my conservative readers vanished from my other blog in the summer of 2003 as Iraq slid into chaos and it became obvious that liberals were right about everything regarding the war.
And things haven't gotten better for them since then. Now their president is on schedule to be less popular than Herbert Hoover and the verdict of history is going to be harsh. The big question raised by historians in the future is going to be "How did this turkey get a second term?"
I suspect watching their president completely bungle and screw up a disaster to the tune of letting thousands die is just more than they can handle. It's the last indignity for them. So look for them to come up with the lamest weirdest arguments ("the poor people in New Orleans had cars!") to try and exonerate their president and clear their own guilty consciences.
But they know the truth -- even if they won't admit it.
