Apt Analysis

Oliver Willis does a rather apt assessment of right-wing blogs right now:

Reading the rightie blogs right now is like going to Bizarroland. In Bizarroland...

- the war is going perfectly fine, the media just keeps reporting those pesky facts.
- abuse photos aren't so great, but they're not as bad as Saddam Hussein, the new yardstick for American democracy
- liberals are working for the other side, Senator McCarthy told me so
- in light of the fact that everything we said about invading Iraq is exactly the opposite, we're still right
- whatever does go wrong, is not our fault, even though we run the three branches of government
