James Wolcott Correctly Disses Roger L. Simon, OS Card and many others

James Wolcott:

"Roger L. Simon I don't consider a liberal hawk. Because he isn't. He isn't much of a liberal of any kind.

Instead, he typifies a subset of bloggers who day-in, day-out bash the UN (particularly over the 'oil-for-food' scandal') while saying damn near nothing about the billions of reconstruction money lost or stolen in Iraq and the sweetheart deals for companies like, yes, Halliburton; who dump scorn regularly on the ACLU and minimize the brutalities at Abu Ghraib; who pull that 'I didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left me' shtick (or its cousin, 'When I was young, liberalism meant this [fill in blank with noble cause], and now it means this [fill in blank with outrage du jour]; who accuse those who don't share their righteous urgency of 'not getting it' or having 'a pre-9/11 mentality;' who trash Juan Cole but never make a peep about Daniel Pipes or David Horowitz; the sort of blogger who even at this late date kvetches that the MSM is withholding the 'good news' about Iraq...well, you get the idea.

Added - And much more on the ironic real winner of the Iraq war, Iran, and the real losers, neo-cons and those who supported them. This was part 3 a multi-part post with part 2 here and part 1 here.
