So what's the solution?
All I can think of is sending all the political journalist-whores to the wall, but we liberals are too squeamish to pull the trigger. Maybe we'll have to wait until things get so absolutely awful that the public ends up rioting in the streets...but somehow I fear that the first people that the public would shoot would be we effete intellectuals who protested but failed to stop all this.
Afterwords they might hunt down Rove, Broder, Kristol et alia - and that would be a sight worth seeing. But those of us who committed the crime of being right but insufficiently evil and manipulative for all these years would be in no position to appreciate it.
