The mainstream media’s pandemic of Bush Derangement Syndrome has never been displayed more openly than in this Newsweek commentary by Jonathan Alter, claiming that the President asked the New York Times to hold back the Al Qaeda wire-tap story not out of concern for national security—but because it would embarrass him: Bush’s Snoopgate. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
Dec. 19, 2005 - Finally we have a Washington scandal that goes beyond sex, corruption and political intrigue to big issues like security versus liberty and the reasonable bounds of presidential power. President Bush came out swinging on Snoopgate—he made it seem as if those who didn’t agree with him wanted to leave us vulnerable to Al Qaeda—but it will not work. We’re seeing clearly now that Bush thought 9/11 gave him license to act like a dictator, or in his own mind, no doubt, like Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War.
It gets worse. This is the kind of writing you might find at Daily Kos.
