Always Find A New, More Pathetic Low.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because B-Fighter Kabutack.

This shouldn't be a surprise. Muir will repeat idiotic lies he hears, and repeat them in ways that reveal the moral nullity at their center and think he's doing bang up work. Insisting the gubmint isn't helping the Red States hit by Helene (newsflash, it is) and using it to bash aid to Ukraine in his new paleocon isolationist mode? Par for the course.

But what is interesting is that Muir used to put arguments like these in the mouth of Factory Setting Feckless Liberal Jan, straw arguments to be set against the glorious neocon dream of blowing Arab states up and then building them back better. How could we dare rebuild other nations when we had problems over here?, she'd say. Again, a straw argument to show that she simply lacked faith in the glories of our nation. Except now Muir just repeats it outright. Of course, it makes sense. For Muir, the rebuilding was always secondary to showing the Other who was boss, and when it proved hard, he gave up on it, and decided we should have just killed people. And like most of his ilk, that over-exaggerated faith in the country was thin cover over his despising everything in it that wasn't like him, so that as soon as it turned out he and his couldn't hold power forever and without limit, he shifted to screaming the nation was ruined and he hasn't stopped.

As I note over and over again, he becomes more and more what he always really was.
