All right Now I know I'm crazy. I'm agreeing with Wm Buckley.

I found this at www.crooksandliars.com

This is a quote from William F. Buckley
"But even if she was safe in Washington when the identity of her employer was given out, it does not mean that her outing was without consequence..... In the swirl of the Libby affair, one loses sight of the real offense, and it becomes almost inapprehensible what it is that Cheney/Libby/Rove got themselves into. But the sacredness of the law against betraying a clandestine soldier of the republic cannot be slighted.

Wm. F. Buckley gets it right and the so-called leftwing press misses the importance of the story. I really have been in Korea too long.

1. Correction: Buckley agrees with you

You haven't changed your opinion of this corrupt administration and its traitorous antics.

2. Very clever

I never thought of it that way. Buckley agrees with me. I like that better.

Just out of curiosity, how long do u think it will take scrubbie to start accusing Buckley of secretly being a bush hating liberal?

3. Intelligent people can't deny what's happening

They may delude themselves for a while, but eventually their arguments grow thin and old.

Ever notice that the truly rabid wingnuts are using more and more byzantine arguments to support the administration? Sometimes two stories cancel each other out.

Take the Plame case. There are two main defenses for the outing of Plame.

One says "It's not a crime, she wasn't covert, it wasn't done by our guys"

Another says, "Joseph Wilson got what he deserved, he's a liar, a cheat and he's under the thumb of his wife"

4. That is the difference between your garden variety neocon and

a true traditional conservative.

I'll almost never agree with a neocon.

A traditional conservative can be intellectually honest with themselves and the world.

Therefore I can find myself in agreement with them at times.

5. Manhy conservatives are gentlemen/women with the best interest

of the nation at heart.

Unfortunately, they don't sell as much shampoo and cereal as the mean-spirited, self-aggrandizing, narrow-minded, insulting, partisan, divisive ASSHOLES like Hannity, Limbaugh, and O'Reilly.

One day I think the right wing pundits who follow the script written by Rush will be seen in the same light as Joseph McCarthy...

6. I've always respected Buckley...

as all of you are noting, HIS era was a far different color of GOP than today's conservative imposters. It's all so Alice in Wonderland, everything is backwards kind of thing.

Especially when realizing that many of today's so-called Neo-Con was a "liberal" in the 60's and 70's.
