Here’s an essay from one Bob Cesca, apparently a blogger when he’s not doing whatever it is he does to make a living. I offer this post as an example of the sort of petulant spit-balling from deep in the bleachers that characterizes so much of the angriest of the Angry Left. Here’s a guy whose side won the election, whose cause is in magnificent ascendency with a popular President-elect waiting in the wings, and what does he do? He devotes a thousand words or so to impugning the motives of Senator Joe Lieberman, a man whom he surely does not know. I can tell, because if Mr. Cesca knew anything about Senator Lieberman except what he read in another blog somewhere, he’d appreciate that Senator Lieberman is at least as liberal as Mr. Cesca is on every issue save the war on terror. And, since Mr. Cesca is happy to tell us that the war on terror is simply a Bush-conjured fantasy–the world loves us, don’t you know–then Sen. Lieberman should be a useful Senate vote for a liberal agenda. But Mr. Cesca, like most of his loud and uninformed friends, appears to know something approaching nothing about the practical demands of politics. Guys like Bob Cesca–spewers of hate for the sheer joy of it–are President-elect Obama’s greatest potential trouble. They don’t care about advancing an agenda. They just like to yell.
