Hubris uber alles

In a recent WaPO editorial, George Will, of all people, asked of the Bushies why they didn't just fess up that they'd made a mistake about the presence of WMDs in Iraq, instead of prolonging the agony, feeding the Democrats' feeding frenzy, and appearing boneheaded. Of all people, George Will asked this of his fellow-travelers.

Same question with PlameGate. In less than a week this one-act play has become an epic. The volume of documents, the number of interviewees, the breadth of the scandal, are now worth at least three months' worth of fodder for the press and the party-out-of-power.

Goody.
