A Ridiculous Rant from the Right

Posted on November 15, 2003 in Journalists & Pundits

You’ve got to love this logic as spewed out by James Taranto of the Dull Street Journal:

We’ll stop calling the Democrats obstructionists when these guys stop complaining about Iraq. President Bush has invaded only two countries, Iraq and Afghanistan, both of which were ruled by ideologues even harder-core than Priscilla Owen. That means there are 189 countries Bush hasn’t invaded. He should get to invade at least two or three more before anyone calls him an imperialist or war monger.

If Democrats are obstructionists for opposing four nominees to the Federal bench, what do you call the Republicans who opposed sixty-eight (68) of Clinton’s nominees?

Whenever I heard a whine like this, I want to ask “Are you worried that you might be an obstructionist, James?”
