OK, this is where I am right now, and I'm pretty sure a lot of American is right behind me on this one.
After reading Conason's piece, I'm simply glad that Domenech is not a right-wing gay male prostitute mysteriously granted White House press-credentials who goes on to write a blistering critique of "Brokeback Mountain" because the film insults "traditional American values."
Domenench seems to be simply a garden-variety pathological careerist who will stop at nothing to secure a public position as a Washington "insider."
Despicable? Mais oui! But Domenech doesn't seem half as crazy as most of the nutbirds flocking around D.C. nowadays.
And for that, I'm *grateful*. I really am.
By the way, I don't see why so many physicians nowadays claim that Xanax has a "high dependency profile" when even the most stable adult requires at least 10mgs in order to read the tamer political stories on Salon without experiencing profound generalized anxiety.
