Mating Call of the Moonbats

It's spring, and in an attempt to attract mates, liberals have been going out of their way to establish that they really don't like the United States. It started with Newsweek publishing the bogus "Koran in the toilet" story that has conclusively ended any pretence of objectivity (or credibility)at that magazine.

Then, as if in response, lefty opinion makers across the country have tried hard to establish that each one of them hates America even worse.

There was the White House press corps going ape on Scott McClellan for suggesting that Newsweek really should try to be more responsible regarding the military.

There was PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi describing America to Columbia Business School graduates as a huge, obscene gesture directed at the rest of the world. (Memo to Nooyi: look forward to an emergency meeting of PepsiCo's board of directors soon.)

And now you have Linda Foley of the Newspaper Guild apparently trying to stage an historical reenactment of the Eason Jordan fiasco on C-span.

Today is a good day to be conservative.
