"JournoList and the Leftist Mentality"

By J.R. Dunn

"But even today, when they're the closest they've been in seventy years, the Left is suffering moral collapse, giving up before the final bell, all the while whining about how unfair it all is, how this country is too recalcitrant and stubborn for them to "save."

A contradiction this deep requires an explanation -- which can also be found in the JournoList e-mails. Namely, they reflect a stupidity of an extremely high order. All of it -- the misinformation, the confusion between fact and opinion, the dull-witted schemes -- and the grammar and spelling, for that matter -- all suggest nothing more than a crew of not-too-bright adolescents sneaking smokes out in back of the field house and moaning about parents, teachers, and the jocks. The e-mails have that same sour air: the sneering, the boasting, the half-digested half-ideas, the inability to carry any project to conclusion, and the well-practiced impulse to blame somebody, anybody else. And these are their best and brightest, the cream of the graduates of their highest institutes of learning. Ezra and the four hundred dwarfs."
