    Hilariously stupid

    Batman shares only one aspect with Bush. Both have the one-dimensionality of cartoon characters (though The Dark Knight is great, it still is not so deep.). But if a comparison is to be made, let us remember that Batman refuses to kill. Bush is a killer, a torturer, no self-sacrificing hero operating under a cloak of anonymity, but an arrogant lawbreaker, and bully. The self-delusions of the right-wing reach new heights with this op-ed. You simply get the feeling that the whole crew is out of touch with the world.
