Georgia and the candidates: a quick thought experiment

Published Aug 15 2008, 11:19 AM by Adam Reilly

Ask yourself: If Barack Obama had criticized President Bush's handling of an international crisis and sent his own emissaries to the country in question--while John McCain, in contrast, offered muted commentary during a vacation in his home state--how would the political commentariat respond? Would we be marvelling at Obama's forcefulness and fluency? Or would we instead be nodding our heads and saying, "Yeah, he really is full of himself"?

Bottom line is that the MSM does more harm than good, despite good intentions. The rest of us can't read 3 pages every time someone wants to count angels dancing on the head of a pin. Most of us don't have a preferred narrative; we just want to get as close as possible to the truth and go live our lives. Overwrought hypotheses that always seem to return to their starting places are not useful.
