Via ThinkProgress comes this wonderful little nugget of crap, from our favorite 'Democratic War Critic', Michael O'Hanlon.
From the CBS News report, on just how Bush's legacy might be considered in the years after his presidency, we get treated to O'Wanklon, doing his best to rewrite history on Iraq. The piece allows him to tout the "success" of the surge, before we get this tasty little piece of spin:
"He went to war in a deliberately cavalier way," O'Hanlon said. "But let's also be fair. Iraq now seems to be a quasi-functioning Democracy without weapons of mass destruction, without genocides against citizens or attacks against its neighbors. So to some extent, we gotta give our president his due."

Now honestly....considering how outrageously wrong O'Hanlon has been...how outrageously and utterly pro-war he's been...how outrageously willing to tar Democrats insistently over the subject of the war...
How in the hell are they still calling him a 'Democratic' critic...and why the hell are they even giving him time, the man who whined about how he was "less than one [interview request] a day', to spout this crap even further?
He's a man who has come out to insist that the war was so splendidly done that the architects "would have made Vince Lombardi proud", and was just "livid" at Obama's plan for Iraq withdrawal...never mind that Maliki ended up endorsing it, and Bush essentially caved into a similar deal (at least until he backs out of it)?
But I guess I shouldn't be surprised. After all, we just have that delicious "Anti-Republican" bias, according to 'the 'liberal' Mark Halperin who has the weight to criticize his 'own', I suppose we need a balance of such fairminded "Democratic War Critics" like Michael O'Hanlon"
Sure, the part of the piece was small, but the fact that we get O'Hanlon still pulling a Lieberman and insisting that he's a 'Democrat' despite doing nothing but shoot at Democratic Strawmen all day, it's nothing short of amazing, especially considering what they still let him get away with saying.
