Grasping at Straws, Linking to Straw-Graspers

Ah, Insty. I can always rely on you for a laugh. It's bad enough that Jonah Goldberg & co. will grasp at any straw to minimize the idiocy and incompetence of Their Glorious Hero...but garnering links as if they didn't have their heads up their asses...why, that just makes it that much more astounding.

OBL might very well be dead, of course. But Goldberg's arguments are sub-sophomoric as usual. If the fact that he didn't release a tape on the five-year anniversary of 9/11 is the best you've got, J, then don't waste my time.

This just after I saw over at The Plank that Jonah is also now apparently urging righties to give up the there really was a link between OBL and Saddam line for a new nobody ever even thought that or cared whether there was a link between OBL and Saddam line. I'm waiting for him to start claiming that we never really invaded Iraq. Then he'll be on the same page as Baudrillard, and in the vanguard of American conservatism's transformation into a fully postmodern movement.

[Please to excuse recent incivility. But I just can't seem to put up with this shit with a straight face anymore.]
