Oh, what a lovely photo op it turned out to be: The Hatter, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice surrounded by history. The names were so terribly impressive: Powell, Cohen, Albright, McNamara, Schlesinger, Schultz, Haig, Carlucci, Perry, Brown, Eagleburger and Baker. They had served presidents from JFK to their present host. These were the real heavyweights of government. They came to pass on their wisdom and their expertise in a time of terrible chaos.
They came for tea, but they got baloney.

Horror of horrors, Colin Powell played the Dormouse. He sat quietly, never uttering a single word. More brazenly, Madeline Albright played Alice and dared to question the Hatter about his foreign policy! Not the way to go, Alice. The Hatter was not pleased.
In fact, after his forty minute fairy tale about Iraq, the Hatter allowed less than ten minutes of questions. TEN MINUTES! Surrounded by the most experienced members of presidential cabinets in recent history, the Hatter listened to less than ten minutes of their questions and then walked out!

Nothing was accomplished at this insane event, and eventually the guests went home. Men and women who had dealt with international crises ranging from the Cold War and Vietnam to Iraq itself, were sent back into their individual lives of retirement. We’ll never know what they might have said to enlighten the Hatter or to make him reconsider his Pollyanna view of death and destruction.
We’ll never know because there were no editorials in the NY Times or the Washington Post this morning about the madness of the meeting. This morning, the faux cable news networks were hyping the Hatter’s latest speech on the economy, and giving only cursory lip service to the 11 American soldiers and scores of Iraqis who died in the Mad Hatter’s senseless war yesterday. They never bothered to cover the Tea Party of the year at all.
