OH, DEAR

I just got back from the last leg of the drive from Ptown to DC and find Glenn Reynolds has had a conniption. He seems to think I was implying that, after he already knew that there had been an awful massacre in Iraq, he approvingly quoted an emailer talking about the “smashing success” of Bush’s Iraq policy. No I’m really not that stupid; and neither is Glenn. I was simply juxtaposing a recent piece of Iraq triumphalism quoted on Instapundit with the grim reality on the web a mere fifteen hours later. That’s all I meant by “today,” which is a failure of editorial sloppiness on my part. My apologies. Blogging on the road can lead to sloppiness. I’ve now amended the post to say “yesterday” – something made perfectly clear if you read the link. The point I was trying to make remains exactly as I meant it. As for “cheap shots,” calling a classical liberal a “Kos diarist” strikes me as a little, well, excitable.
