Bloodless Coup

The WSJ: Simultaneously Seers and Thought Police

This link to a piece in the Wall Street Journal includes some remarkable language:

Just as embarrassing has been Nebraska's Charles Hagel, whose waffling on the nomination should be understood as an attempt to curry favor with the liberal media and strike a blow for the permanent State Department bureaucracy that he has long allied himself with.

That's quite a piece of writing. The ham-handed silliness, the arrogance, the cliched insults, the demand to obey ... and I was completely unaware of the fact that the writers at the WSJ apparently have the ability to peer into a man's soul and read his true intentions, beliefs and values. That's quite an accomplishment for people who write in such a banal style.
