Where Credit Is Due

Learned Foot beat me fair and square in the race to fisk the latest Susan Lenfestey column in the Strib.

Which is sort of like saying “Learned Foot beat me to the pool of suppurating runoff from that roadkill deer, and he brought a champagne flute”, but victory is victory.

Nonetheless, I’ll have to tackle Lenfestey’s column myself, whenever my self-esteem drops low enough that I need to see someone who makes me feel better in comparison.

One thought on “Where Credit Is Due

  1. My favorite paragraph from the Lenfesty piece:

    “As if to illustrate his delusional arrogance, he paid a final vanity visit to Iraq, thanking the men and women he so heedlessly dispatched on a mission that was as short on planning as it was on armor. Real war heroes do this with humility and grace — think Eisenhower or Churchill — but with Rummy, as with the Decider-in-Chief, it’s the stuff of a sentimental war movie, complete with props and backdrops, and more about the starring actor than the supporting cast.”

    Do they give out pulitzers for being ludicrous? I mean, what is her point?
