Overstating? Maybe, but I'm a bit trapped by my own words.
In my post on Wednesday entitled "What I Think," I wrote (amongst other things):
I think that anyone who also thought so, but abandons George Bush or Tony Blair after the fact to score simple political points is swine.
My perception of Senator Rockefeller during the build-up to the War was that he was a pretty good guy. His utterances on FOX and elsewhere struck me as non-partisan and pretty fair to the Bush Administration.
My perception since has been along the lines of "What the hell happened?" He's struck me as one of those guys who let Bush provide the leadership and take the risk, and is now out scoring cowardly BS political points.
Seems I'm not the only one to notice. Matthew Hoy has the goods on an exchange between the Senator and FOX's Tony Snow, who had the goods on Rockefeller. Bravo to Tony Snow.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
