Tbogg+Digby=Wolcott

What motif unites the blatherings of all neocon warbloggers? How about fear?

James Wolcott picks up on a common theme from posts by Tbogg and Digby into a grand theme for 2006's right wing bloggers. Digby:

"All those fine words about the rule of law safeguarding our liberties, the arbitrary exercise of power and Bunker Hill, Lexington and Normandy went right out the window on 9/11. That was when Henry [Hyde] and the rest of his stalwart defenders of the rule of law promptly wet their pants and then let their president use the constitution to clean up the puddle."

Wolcott:

Yes indeedy doody.

In fact, my policy is to refer to the warbloggers in 2006 as "bedwetters." There need be no shame in being a bedwetter. It's a condition that can be treated. But for the neocon-converted, treatment first requires taking honest self-inventory. Having the courage to look in the mirror admit, "I'm a pompous warmongering bedwetting crybaby who loves to hear myself maunder."
