Immune to Reality
V.D. Hanson Edition
You know, sometimes this stuff--though innocuous by the standards of people like our good buddy V.D., really brings home how completely isolated from reality the really nutty wingnuts are. If there's something akin to a dictionary entry somewhere for "no sense of perspective," this quote should be included as an illustration:
I like having V.D. around though. He makes me feel smart.

"We are quite literally after two weeks teetering on an Obama implosion—and with no Dick Morris to bail him out—brought on by messianic delusions of grandeur, hubris, and a strange naivete that soaring rhetoric and a multiracial profile can add requisite cover to good old-fashioned Chicago politicking," --Victor Davis Hanson.

So now we've got Obama's number. Funny: not long ago VDH was pushing the hilariously desperate "no-one really knows who he is" line -- and even fleshing it out with ominous questions like "we don't really know how he got into Harvard Law School."
Think about it:
Obama gets into Harvard Law School: mystery.
G W Bush gets into Yale: Not a mystery.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds...
(Incidentally, I freakin' hate it when people misuse/misquote that line like that...)
