Dionne just doesn't get it

Dionne's partisanship continues unabated. Today, he slams Bush for what he might do, if he's re-elected. Heaven forfend, a duly elected president may actually try to fix a fiscally failing Social Security system or fix a tax system that is unfair and punitive.

October 7, 2001, Dionne told us we need to socialize "our national health insurance." Less than one month after September 11th, Dionne wanted to stop worrying about what he called "the profound seriousness that overtook the country" and get along with the business of socializing our insurance industry.

Can there anyone more clueless than Dionne? (And Dullard Dowd doesn't count.)

Three years ago, Dionne concludes by saying: "We might begin by taking the current seriousness seriously, and by agreeing that politics, public life and public service are too important to be trivialized or denigrated. If we don't believe that now, we never will."

During this past year, we have heard that Bush is comparable to Hitler, or more dangerous than Saddam Hussein, or Senator Biden telling us he's "brain-dead," or Helen Thomas telling us Bush is the "worst president in our history." (Was she sleeping during Nixon's presidency?)

A simple Google search on anti-Bush quote turns up 118,000 pages; whereas, anti-Kerry quote turns up only 74,000 pages -- there is 60% more traffic running against Bush.

Three years later, Dionne and his like-minded pals are still trivializing and denigrating public life and service.
