Dan Rather’s initial, furious street-side defense of an amateurish forgery ? smug, huffy, self-righteous ? brings to mind one of those bad movies about the Paris barricades, especially the grainy, black-and-white shots of powdered and wigged aristocrats on their way to the Guillotine, yelling out of their carriages at pitchfork-carrying peasants.
Read the rest of Victor Davis Hanson’s latest triumph, where he salts the old media, the academic elite, the U.N., and more.

That was a very interesting essay on the decrepitude of today’s Left. Ties in with many spectrums, Thomas Sowell’s “constrained” vs. “unconstrained” visions, my friend Robin Georg Olsen’s spectrum of Left (modernist) vs. Right (traditionalist) and Leadership (elitist) vs. Grass-roots (populist), etc..
