Arthur Silber: Why Frank Rich And Many Democrats Are So Badly Wrong

August 15th, 2005

Over the past year or so, I have linked to Frank Rich’s columns fairly regularly. I find Rich to be dependably perceptive on many cultural and political issues. When Rich wrote a twice-weekly op-ed column for the Times some years ago, I thought that he had lost his unique voice for the most part, for reasons that I never understood. He seemed largely adrift intellectually. When he returned to writing less often, he seemed to rediscover himself, and I was very glad about that.

However, Rich’s latest column was very seriously in error. His title was, “Someone Tell the President the War Is Over.” I noted with some disappointment that a number of liberals I often like and agree with linked to the piece very favorably. What in the world are these people thinking, I wondered? I linked to Rich’s column at the beginning of this entry, but without comment—and the subject of my post was only a very minor one in the context of Rich’s column.
