It never ends.
The conservative faux-patriotic outrage I mean. For context, Mark Levin thinks Harry Reid is far more deserving of professional termination that Alberto Gonzales:
Far more relevant, consequential and disturbing is the behavior of the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, who by word and action is actively undermining our fighting men and women in Iraq. His legislative efforts to starve our armed forces in the middle of a war are as contemptible as anything I’ve witnessed in my 25 years in Washington. And yesterday he made a statement that was so disgraceful and brazen that it could have been uttered by Tokyo Rose during World War II or Jane Fonda during the Vietnam War. The difference, of course, is that Reid is the highest ranking Democrat in the United States Senate.
For those who are so pre-occupied with Gonzales that they may not have heard it, this is what Reid said yesterday: "I believe ... that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week."
This seems like a good time to link again to Digby's old post about Tokyo Rose. The real difference is that Reid, unlike Iva Tokuri, isn't engaging in propoganda under any sort of duress. He's engaging in uncoerced political debate of the type National Review conservatives can't fucking stand.
