The Rank Wank

Not having the Times Select for specifically this reason, the smell of David Brooks excrement yesterday still crept about the blogosphere:

The Civil War was of course bloodier and more dismal than anything we're facing today. Leadership blunders led to more American deaths in single hours than we've seen during three years in Iraq. Lincoln's opponents argued that the South was too culturally and economically dissimilar to be reconciled with the North, that blacks could not live freely and equally with whites.

But as the situation grew dire, Lincoln did not scale back his ambitions or grow more "realistic." On the contrary, he enlarged and revolutionized the meaning of the war. He emancipated the slaves. He portrayed the war as a front in a worldwide struggle for liberty.

This, of course, is an effort to portray Bush as being the equal of Lincoln.

Whatever Bobo had, it was some awesome shit!!!!!
