Ambinder, cont'd

MANIFESTO

I noted Marc Ambinder's response to the news that the Bushies used security alerts for political reasons in a comment below. Now its turns out that Mr. Ambinder has irked quite a few bloggers with his accusatory comments.

Paul Krugman is quite upset and lays the whole situation out quite plainly: "It’s really sad that those who missed the obvious, who failed to see what was right in front of their noses, still consider themselves superior to those who got it right."

Or, as Jay Ackroyd puts it, "The reason people viewed [Bush's] traffic light scare system as lying, histrionic politics, was because Bush had a longstanding history of engaging in lying, histrionic politics."
