I just had the misfortune of watching The New Republic editor Peter Beinart on the O'Reilly Factor. He is the very exemplar of an Alan Colmes liberal; a craven fop.
While O'Reilly berated him for not sufficiently celebrating the death of Zarqawi, Beinart stuttered, begged, and practically pissed all over himself bashing liberals who are apparently all over the blogosphere shrilling (or whining, I forget which it is) that American troops are no better than Zarqawi.
He actually looked like he was going to cry several times.
He actually said something to the effect of, 'It really bothers me, Bill, when some say that America is just as bad as Zarqawi. That's just wrong."
I'm paraphrasing, but it was that bad. Who are these liberals claiming that George Bush is out beheading his enemies? Name some names.
Beinart was so eager to please the splotchy, bloated, bullying buffoon that he looked, I swear, like a puppy dog, panting timorously at O'Reilly's tedious rodomontade, absolutely desperate to disassociate himself from that liberal pack of America-haters who just CAN'T admit that killing Zarqawi is a major blow to not only the Iraq insurgency, but the entire Global War on Terror.
You see, in O'Reilly's infallible mind, there is a single enemy army in Iraq, all run by one guy, who we just killed. He was the boss of the whole thing - the Sunnis, the Shi-ite militias, the Iranian factions, the ex-Baathists, the just plain criminal gangs and professional kidnappers, even the enraged orphans, widowers, and former Abu Ghraib prisoners. And now he's dead. Ratted out probably by another faction of al-Queda.
Therefore, the left is guilty of not popping the champagne and letting off a few rounds in the street now that the Head Terrorist In Charge is dead and we can all come home now.
And Beinart was there to apologize for the lack of enthusiasm for this great victory. For all those wavering pessimists on the left for whom he feels he has to answer. There may be legions of lefties out there who think America is worse than Zarqawi, but quite frankly, I only know of one. That's right, one. Me.
And thank you, but I don't need some wimp-ass limp dick Yalie poltroon apologizing for me.
I really don't have any cogent analysis. I actually just wanted to write the headline.
Peter Beinart is Pathetic.
What is even more pathetic is that he doesn't make a nickle for appearing on the O'Reilly show. He does it for the
'exposure', simply so everyone can see what a good boy he is.
What a pitiful, approval-starved, pusillanimous bed-wetter. Remind me to spit whenever I hear his name. That's all I have to say.
