The right wing has never met a general it didn't like... until the general started talking common sense.
Apart from McChrystal's clear tendency to be a bull in a china shop, what I got from the article is that there's a remarkably different standard for "brilliance" inside the military than outside.
There might be a clue there about the right wing, too....
Charles Krauthammer was on Bill O'Reilly (damn rain delay in the Mets game) going all psycho-babbly about how Obama's not firing McChrystal would be an incredible demonstration of Obama's internal strength.
I really wanted to go all Richard Widmark/wheelchair/staircase because we all know that if Obama doesn't fire McChrystal, we're going to be hearing the wimps in Washington talking point until Jeb Bush takes office in 2012.

ReplyDeleteCan we stuff McChrystal down the BOP and kill two birds with one cementhead?
