The Blog | Ellis Weiner: Swoonin' With Noonan | The Huffington Post: ". . .At first I took this to mean that all of us were equally culpable in the obscenity that is Bush's war of choice, and that therefore all of us should be on our best behavior as the wise men descend from their Carlyle Group board room and help set things aright. Graceless partisan hot-head that I am, I read this and became somewhat cross. 'What you mean 'we,' Keemosabe?' was essentially my response.
Because--and everyone knows this, with the possible exception of the Mad Decider in the White House--'we' are not all equally responsible for this hideousness. The administration and the Republican Party, of which Noonan has been and remains a proud advocate, are. Oh, they were abetted by some fearful, spineless Democrats in Congress, and by a spineless, fearful news media. But by and large this carnival of death, destruction, corruption, mismanagement, and ineptitude is a Republican creation. . ."
Lest we forget.
