What a difference a week makes. Short days ago, the liberal media were doing the Snoopy dance of joy in advance of what they were sure would be the beginning of the end of the dim-witted cowboy/scheming frat-boy that is George W. Bush.
They felt they were on the brink of weakening, if not toppling the Bush administration altogether. They began the week in anticipation of the imminent death of the 2,000th American soldier in Iraq, then segued into gloating over the Harriet Miers withdrawal and finally, to salivating over the results of the CIA leak investigation. The Washington Post summed up the glee nicely via a story on the Miers affair:
The withdrawal stunned Washington on a day when the capital was awaiting potential bad news for the administration on another front — the possible indictments of senior White House aides in the CIA leak case. Earlier in the week, the U.S. military death toll in Iraq hit 2,000 while consumer confidence in the economy took another plunge, reflecting Bush’s mounting political woes.
From the hallways at the Old Gray Lady to network newsrooms across the land, liberals were sure that they had the president and his supporters on the run. But when things didn’t turn out quite like they imagined, the left still reported them as if they had.
Last Tuesday, Iraqi election officials certified that their Constitution was approved by a nearly four-to-one margin. This vote was a crushing blow to terrorists and those who support them. So how was this news reported?
