Recently Kevin Baas, who authors Notes from the Real World, had a conversation with a conservative blogger about the relevance of the Downing Street Memo and the objectives of liberal who are seeking a formal inquiry in regard to its contents.
You’ve got to read this exchange. By the time Generic Conservative Blogger gets to “I refuse to go around and around with someone who refuses to factor in 9/11,” invoking The Tragedy That Justifies Everything to try to stop Kevin in his tracks, one realizes that every conversation with every ideologue conservative on every issue follows exactly the same pattern. It’s rather amusing in a pathetic sort of way.
Kevin does a good job of winding GCB up, too - simply by being reasonable (and right).
