VOX CLAMANTIS IN DESERTO:

The Souffle Doctrine (MAUREEN DOWD, October 20, 2002, NY Times)

The Boy Emperor picked up the morning paper and, stunned, dropped his Juicy Juice box with the little straw attached.

"Oh, man," he wailed. "North Korea's got nukes."

It's not even worth excerpting the rest of the column. It suffices to point out the gall of these people who celebrated Bill Clinton's appeasement of North Korea and belittled the Axis of Evil but who now portray George W. Bush as the one who's surprised by this week's North Korean admission (note that he learns of North Korea's nukes from the nwspaper, rather than vice versa). But even that is barely worth mentioning. Thus is it ever with the Left, which never has to apologize for the damage it does or even acknowledge it.
