Goldstein, Kommissar, Woodshed
May 28th, 2007 at 5:47 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesFormer Friend-of-the-Buffet™, Der Kommissar, has been going off the rails for quite some time. As he and his TrutherDonks snuggle down under the covers together, Goldstein offers him some direction.
…
The problem with the Commissar’s thinking, however, is that he seems to be pointing to the failure of some of the plans for the administration of post-war Iraq (remember Paul Bremer and the Civilian Authority?) as proof of the absence of planning. With the luxury of hindsight, he points to mistakes, and uses them to suggest that the Administration was simply winging it. And until he’s shown the “plans themselves,” the “Powerpoint presentations,” the “pdf files,” “the briefing books,” and “the actual documents,” he can continue to doubt that they existed—and maintain, with all the blistering self-righteousness of the recently converted—that the Bushies are guilty of abominable negligence.
RTWT. There’s plenty more.

I read the whole thing…comments as well. My head hurts.

Not that my disenchantment matters but I have only been checking my Politburo feed to see what Talking Points Memo wants me to think.
Extremely disappointing. The Politburo was one of the very first blogs I started reading on a consistent basis. Then he went away. Then he came back. Then there was the Allah imbroglio – and even through that I would still check in.
It’s been nothing but bashing now for more months than I can remember. When you feel betrayed and it sends you into the loving arms of the enemy.
Der Kommisar – Is this what it’s like when doveskies cry?

That was the point, Billy.
Smantix, I had to drop the Politburo from my feeds back in the wintertime. It was too depressing to hear him blathering on and licking the sacks of fellow Kossacks.
Depressing. Especially since he’d been one of my first daily blog reads as well. But times change, and people drink one koolaid or another. No need for the feed these days.

I hope it is a true ideological epiphany. Otherwise, it would just be attention whoring to placate his new leftwing fanbase to replace readers.
To the detriment of 6MB, I’m probably too caustic most of the time to even keep the people who would be receptive to whatever I’m saying. But that’s where some of us part ways.
Some people need and want acceptance. And some people don’t.

Yeah, screw acceptance; where’s the beer?

Hell…he might even be our party’s nominee…

Yeah sad about der kommisar, he used to be all the rage but his BDS is way out of control. I stop in over there once in a while but between his pro-evolution/Christianist bashing and anti-Bush rants he’s as trite as the DU and far, far less entertaining.
