Just Because It's A Tautology Doesn't Make It Wrong

For quite some time I've checking out The Top 10 Conservative Idiots on the Democratic Underground. I've not mentioned it before because it's American and politics, two things that far too many other blogs cover. I'm pointing it out now because this week's is spectacularly vicious and spot on and mostly for this entry:
Karl Rove
Karl "Bush's Brain" Rove made some bizarre pre-Convention comments on the subject of terrorism, demonstrating that he has absolutely no concept of the conflict in Northern Ireland whatsoever. "This is going to be more like the conflict in Northern Ireland," he said, "where the Brits fought terrorism, and there's no sort of peace accord with al-Qaida saying, 'We surrender.'" Hmm. Is it just me, or did Karl Rove just compare the Irish to al-Qaida?

It manages to sum up so much in so little.
