Clintonian naivite

There are so many synctactic tricks in the neo-con playbook that it is not too useful to only discuss one of them. But this latest one has to be a dead give away of how fundamentally puerile their thinking really is. In fact, their main weakness seems to be that they suffer from an elephantine memory and a post-adolescent's fixation on a pet peeve. Or they don't forget much and they obsess about that that they don't or can't forget!!

Is there anything more puerilely naive than the neo-con approach to Iraq and the Middle East? But they facilely fasten (nice alliteration there!) on their obsession with Clinton & Co, which paid political campaign dividends for them last time out, to deflect our attention from their disastrous policies and execution thereof by reminding us how "ineffective" and even how "downright Un-American" the naive Clintonites were. They actually read and knew history! How naive of them!

The Shrub and his pretentious crowd of neocon intellectual supporters have never seen a book they couldn't ignore. And the world pays for their deliberate ignorance. Oh they say it's their strategic strength. Not getting distracted by all the trivial details is what makes for an efficient and hard-hitting executive!! The crassness of it all.

Their puerile hypocrisies may be catching up to them, but their commitment to and discipline about message are not going to go away easily, because that will mean they will be on their way out of political power.

Diogenes dixit!
