Someone, I wish I knew who it is, came up with the phrase, "reality based community", to describe critics of W. The author of that phrase deserves a prize, because it is dead on.
Check out the following quotes, courtesy of
The Washington Monthly, and tell me this country hasn't gone completely insane:
Summer 2002, a senior Bush official to Ron Suskind: "[Establishment liberals] believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality."
Summer 2005, a senior Bush official to Robin Wright and Ellen Knickmeyer: "What we expected to achieve [in Iraq] was never realistic given the timetable or what unfolded on the ground. We are in a process of absorbing the factors of the situation we're in and shedding the unreality that dominated at the beginning."
