Another Entry in the “Ah, Shadenfreude!” File

“Caveat Emptor,” bitches.

“To see what is in front of one’s nose,” George Orwell famously asserted, “needs a constant struggle.”

Congratulations this week to three journalists who have finally taken up that constant struggle: Christopher Buckley, David Gergen and David Brooks. All three used to insist that Obama was some species of centrist or moderate. Now that Obama has proposed the most massive expansion of government in the history of the republic, each has recognized that just conceivably he might have been mistaken.

Of course, like that gutless wuss running the RNC, Brooks has already backtracked been beaten back into toeing teh Messiah’s line.

Gergen is the guy you see in the dictionary, next to the definition of “jackassed hack.” But Buckley… Buckley should have known better. Jesus Christ, you’d imagine a Bullshit Detector was built into that idiot’s DNA.
