Blaming Americans First

By The Daily Dish
Dec 1 2006, 2:04 AM ET

The new meme from the right: the American people - not president Bush - lost the war in Iraq. Mort Kondracke peddles the line, and I have to agree with Josh Marshall that it is a sickening piece of denialist drivel. As Josh puts it:

It really does seem as though the cardinals of DC punditry are constitutionally incapable of believing that George W. Bush has ever - in the real sense - gotten anything wrong or that they, the Washington establishment, has gotten anything wrong over the last six years.

Remember: on Fox News, Mort is the liberal.
