Summer madness

Well, I think the Wall Street Journal has lost its editorial mind; this opinion piece likens the box-office hero of the summer to the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Evidently Bush is a superhero in everything but the cape & rubber suit (which is an image I fervently hope to erase from my cortex).

This Klavan character goes on to whinge about those liberal meanies who don’t get that we’re on a crusade against the infidels. Or that everything Bush does is ordained by God (as opposed to Cheney, KBR & Standard Oil). Because, like Batman, he’s a True Believer.

Well, as my box-office hero was wont to remark, “Everybody has to believe in something…I believe I’ll have another drink.”

Stick that in your teetotal leotard, W.
