Yeah, Someone's Getting It Wrong : This Post is Meta-rific!

I'm tempted to pull Mr. Bridges out of his grave once more but after reading this my head hurts too much. Just....argh. Just argh. Argh ARGH ARGH Why won't my brain stop hurting?

But I think this could easily have been avoided if Mr. Letterman had simply responded to Papa Bird's talking point, his querry of asking if he wanted to “win in Iraq” with a simple, “What do you mean by win?” Which, really, is what any liberal should be asking when that particular horse gets trotted out for the show. Because they really don't have an answer. They never really have.

Oh, sure, they'll respond with a follow up about vanquishing the terrorists or securing democracy in the Middle East or whatever which can be handled by an equally simpleminded request that they explain themselves. Pressing them, asking them to define their position in concrete terms instead of the lofty rhetoric of the latest memo from the central office, can lead to only one place: The irrational fear of dhimitude.

That's when you can laugh in their face and start making jokes, by the way. Just so long as you take the time to point out how ludicrously wrong they are from the very concept on down.
