DB: Well, all we know today is that they’ve all donned their Columbo-like trench coats, and are doggedly investigating this matter as they have been for the past six weeks.

MS: Yes, and one can’t help feeling that it’s beginning to take on a bit of a whiff of O.J. looking for the real murderers.

I suppose if you suffer from Down’s Syndrome, it would be.

If that were true, you’d love Republicans wholeheartedly and would defend it with your dying breath.

After reading the rest of the words he connected together, I am most interested in knowing more about the deity he calls “My God.”

Steve, please tell us about your spiritual compass.

Just another left-wing Borg drone emerging from its alcove to menace us with his rhetorical pincers. Yawn.

Unfortunately, he then accuses Kristol of “rushing past” these legitimate questions — when, in fact, TNR itself also chose to (b)rush past the same questions early on in the controversy.

…it’s odd that Chait condemns Kristol for thuggery over a dispute in which Kristol was completely correct. TNR did publish a raft of lies that effectively slandered the troops… When you’ve stooped to calling Bill Kristol […names…], you’ve officially jumped the shark.

Barnett goes on to point out that Andrew Sullivan has, as of today, sneakily abandoned his lonely (except for leftist moonbats) defense of TNR. Sullivan today referred to Beauchamp as a “fabulist”. But as a smokescreen, Sullivan made it a small reference in a ‘well the Right has worse fabulists’ type of attack on… Victor Davis Hanson, of all people. (huh?)

That would be similar, I think, to Chait conceding today that the questions around Beauchamp are “legitimate” – and as a smokescreen, making it a small reference in a ‘well the Right has worse thugs’ type of attack on Kristol.
