This humble blog hasn’t been noticed by the right-wing of the blogosphere in a long time, but my post Thursday with all the pictures of Bush and the wounded soldiers has been, and gosh they don’t much like it. We can talk about them here without fear of discovery, by the way, because I notice that when they click over from, say, Jules Crittenden’s blog, not one of them reads anything besides the linked post (zero out of 66 so far), such is their intellectual curiosity. And yet, as is indicated by their comments on that post and in other right-wing blogs, chat groups and whatnot, they think they know from that single post, which mostly consisted of pictures, everything there is to know about me – not just that I’m a sick seditious bastard, a hate-filled moron with no honor who should leave the country, etcetera, but also that I personally know no one in the military, have never met a wounded veteran, am mocking the injured soldiers, and wouldn’t recognize the “You can’t handle the truth” speech from A Few Good Men.
They also insist that Bush really does care. In a previous visit to the same facility in January 2006, Bush happily joked about how he had injuries of his own, a minor scratch on his forehead sustained “in combat with a Cedar.”
The post I wrote at the time would have been a lot angrier, but I only learned later that he had just come from the amputee ward.
