The Blogosphere's Best and Worst

The Blogosphere's Best and Worst of 9/11+2 - Lots of writing on 9/11. Although nobody asked me, I'm going to sort though my best and worst of 9/11 on the blogosphere. It's the least I can do.

The Best

• Lileks - Yep, on my list, same as everyone else's.
• Vodkapundit - Green writes the article I wish I'd written.
  

• Josh Marshall: In which 9/11 is reduced to just another opportunity for partisan sniping (which, inevitably, a raft of star-struck lefty blogs carried with slack-jawed credulity). Money quote (in Confederate dollars): " I recalled the images of the president getting the first word from Andy Card about the attacks, the later ones of his touring ground-zero and talking to the assembled search and rescue crews. I found him an inspiring leader in those moments...I wondered whether those thoughts of mine would seep into the present to color what's happening today. They didn't." He goes on to say "What I felt wasn't continuity but the jarring contrast, the cheap, obvious lies, the hubris, the tough-talk for low ends, not so much the mistakes as the tawdriness of so much of what's happened, especially over the last eighteen months." What's happened - like a lack of any followup attacks? Hugh Hewitt gave the piece its deserved send-off: "you cannot help but feel sorry for Marshall and those who share his views. They are genuinely divorced from American opinion and American thinking. Citizens, yes, and patriotic in their way, but clueless and not likely to ever be other than clueless. If you cannot understand 9/11, then what can you understand? Nothing that matters, I think, and very little besides."
• Atrios Eschaton - No particular article - just a whole day worth of conspiracy-mongering of a Democrats.com level of quality.
