A Day in the Life of Michael Ledeen

Crazy and Crazier, oh what a lovely scene:

Flyover Country [Michael Ledeen]

Barbara and I went to Indianapolis for a Toby Keith concert, where we partied with something like 25,000 happy rednecks, most of them young, most of them wearing boots and cowboy hats (and cheering Keith's great song "I Should Have Been a Cowboy"). It's a great show, and he's a wonderful performer, not least because of his deeply moving patriotic songs like "American Soldier," "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," and " The Taliban," etc.

It's great to get out of the Washington culture of narcissism and spend some time with the rednecks, a.k.a. real Americans. And it's simply great, as the encores end, and a downpour of red, white and blue confetti covers the crowd, to see Toby say "don't ever apologize for your patriotism," and then lift the middle finger of his right hand to the skies and say, "F*** 'Em!"

Which, after a week of disgusting anti-Americanism in Washington, nicely summed up our feelings.

You ought to try it. Does wonders for the spirit.

Ah yes...

"REAL AMERICANS" who in Michael Ledeen's world approve of the Magical Iraq War for the Pony at a clip of 62 to 34 believe it was a mistake; and at a clip of 60 to 36 believe the Bush Administration misled them about the War. However, when they express this via the First Amendment are DISGUSTING ANTI-AMERICANS!

Oh, you know who else is of that view?

Toby Keith.

But wait, he isn't done yet...

Fresh on the heels of outrage over words that rhyme with Petraeus (and let's have mutual vapors right Dicky Cohen?) good ol' Ledeen decides to slime a different American General for speaking out against his dream war.

So to sum up, in Michael Ledeen's world you cannot commit the crime of a play on words with Petraeus' last name, but YOU CAN CALL 2/3rds OF THE COUNTRY TRAITORS.

Yes, it is the wacky world of Michael Ledeen. Now, Onward to Iran.
