President Bush Sings #
A few weeks ago, Jon Stewart said that he no longer found it possible to hate the president. I agreed then, and I still agree after seeing this. An explanation and more is at The Lede. As it describes the video:
The video is grainy, and Mr. Bush isn’t visible on most of it. But the lyrics, which poke fun at some of the most controversial moments in the Bush administration — the prosecution of vice presidential aide Scooter Libby, the collapse of his nomination of Harriet Miers, former White House counsel, to the Supreme Court — are almost entirely clear, over the laughter.
Jonah Goldberg Strikes Back #
After an appearance on The A Daily Show made him look silly to more people than will probably ever read his book, Liberal Fascism, Mr. Goldberg strikes back in a Los Angeles Times column.
Largely left on the cutting-room floor were some important points that might have made my book seem a bit more nuanced. When he railed about conservatives and gay marriage, I pointed out that in my book, I’m sympathetic to it. When he took shots at Republicans, I noted that I criticize the likes of President Bush and Pat Buchanan for being “right-wing progressives.”
Jonah Goldberg on The Daily Show #
I’m not sure I like mentioning The A Daily Show twice in one day (here’s the first instance), but this is too good to pass up. Jonah Goldberg, who has a new book called Liberal Fascism, was on last night and unjustly or not looked like an utter fool.
