FALLING UP:

W.'s Conflicts of Interest (MAUREEN DOWD, September 15, 2002, NY Times)

Mr. Bush gave a splendid speech at the U.N. He is right that Saddam is a scum with Scuds.

But there was no compelling new evidence. Mr. Bush offered only an unusually comprehensive version of the usual laundry list.

I honestly don't understand this latest line of argument from the Left. If you already believed in gravity. And I told you there is such a thing as gravity, but didn't offer any "new" evidence to back up this assertion, would you cease believing in gravity? How can she in one breath assert that someone is "scum" with ballistic missiles and in the next assert that the case for taking him out has not been proven? Should scum have ballistic missiles or was she lying a sentence ago?
