EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK...
Reaction is pouring in from the blogosphere and elsewhere on the Kissinger appointment. And all of those reactions seem to have something in common:
"Too absurd for words" -Instapundit
"What? Was Robert McNamara Busy? Henry Kissinger? The head of the 9/11 inquiry needs to be trustworthy and credible, so his or her report isn't suspected of being a whitewash. Kissinger may be many things, but trustworthy and credible aren't the virtues that leap immediately to mind." -Mickey Kaus
"Hello. The man is famous, for, more than anything, being a near-pathological liar." -Eric Alterman
"...a proven coverup artist, a discredited historian, a busted liar, and a man who is wanted in many jurisdictions for the vilest of offenses" -Christopher Hitchens
"I just realized this - the man in charge of figuring out the errors in national security during September 11th can't actually travel to any of the places where the attacks were planned because he'd be arrested for war crimes." -Jesse (Pandagon)
"This is a sick, black-is-white, war-is-peace joke--a cruel insult to the memory of those killed on 9/11 and a screw-you affront to any American who believes the public deserves a full accounting of government actions or lack thereof. It's as if Bush instructed his advisers to come up with the name of the person who literally would be the absolute worst choice for the post and, once they had, said, 'sign him up.'" -David Corn
Yes, it finally happened, Bush pissed off everybody.
As you read, Kaus joked "Was Robert McNamara busy?" Ha ha. However, given Bush's attempts to bar any sort of whistleblower protection in the new Homeland Security Department, perhaps Ellsburg would have been a more compelling choice. (:
