Jeff "FlopSweat" Jacoby waxes Desperate...


In a column from today’s Sunday Globe, that laughing young senescence, Jeff Jacoby listed six “positive developments” that were allegedly not being covered by the so called liberal news media.
It is a sign of imminent political catastrophe when the usual conservative suspects suddenly start blaming their mistakes on what was up until then a complacent national news media.
What they are doing is, getting their “stab-in-the-back” legend ready for when Iraq goes up in bloody chunks.
What we can also deduce from this, is that most serious conservative pundits have already written off Iraq as a lost cause…now their only concern is making sure the whole disaster is pinned on that eternal phantom menace, US liberals.
Anyhow, I had to laugh mirthlessly when one of the “positive developments” cited by Jeff was the fundraising effort by one DoD “consultant” Chip Beck to revive the Boy Scout movement in Iraq.
Paul Bremer was babbling on like this last fall when he asserted that Iraq’s first job fair was another “important step in the right direction”.
It is quite literally for trivial piffle like this that our brave soldiers are dying every day…job fairs, boy scouts, what next shall their lives be sacrificed for a system of school vouchers and faith based welfare initiatives?
The Answer to that quite literally is YES! Movement conservatism in the USA is so self deluded that Boy Scout camps and job fairs ARE a legitimate reason for occupying Iraq. Every other justification served up by this misbegotten administration has be proven either false of impossible…we are left with the dregs of the matter…rubbish like this.
Meanwhile, I have to wonder, is the abovementioned Chip Beck the same guy who made his bones as a toady for Congressman Bob Dornan and former New Hampshire Senator Brainless Bob Smith?
Apparently more than a few GOP foot soldiers with little else to do have made their way to Iraq with a weepy missionary desire to remake that nation in the image of Heritage Institute.
Too bad Jeff Jacoby won’t put his money where his mouth is and jet off to Baghdad. I’m sure his endless lectures on behalf of small government, low taxes and churchly supervision of education would find a receptive audience in the Green Zone.
