Can I sue Ann Coulter for libel for calling me a traitor?
Okay, barring that, I think someone on the left needs to do a counter-book called Scoundrels. As Samuel Johnson once said, “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel,” and I think someone needs to do an in-depth analysis of how the entire right wing — from Dubya and his minions in the legislature, to the right-wing media outlets like Rush Limbaugh and Fox News — have tried to portray liberalism, or, indeed, anything but full agreement with all of their bullet points, as anti-American. I’d do it, but I want to keep that straight-A average up this coming year.
