Welcoming George Will to the Reality Based Community

Dear Mr. Will:

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the Reality Based Community. It seems you've finally awoken to the silly, unjustifiable, pungently dishonest and fundamentally illogical excuses made by those who support George W. Bush.

Your column today truely highlights your epipany:

Such is the perfect perversity of the nomination of Harriet Miers that it discredits, and even degrades, all who toil at justifying it. Many of their justifications cannot be dignified as arguments. Of those that can be, some reveal a deficit of constitutional understanding commensurate with that which it is, unfortunately, reasonable to impute to Miers. Other arguments betray a gross misunderstanding of conservatism on the part of persons masquerading as its defenders.

Very interesting insights, George. Ironically those same statements about dignifying arguments and deficits of understanding would appropriately cover much of the Republican Party. Beginning with 9/11 and Iraq, the Republican Party has twisted, lied, bungled and otherwise completely wrecked itself with the majority of the American people and most of the world.

While I realize you've probably considered we liberals a nagging pain in the ass in the past, perhaps now you'll finally be able to understand our very real concerns about the direction this country is heading based on the policies enacted by the Republican Party.

The current brand of conservatism has moved our nation away from world partnerships and back into a robber baron class system. While it's likely you support that in part, it's refreshing to see that you're capable of moving outside the conservative box (even though your chief complaint is about a lack of true conservatism) its at least a step in the correct direction.

Love,

Carla
