Andy, maybe I misread Krauthammer. If he’s merely saying what you claim, then I have no problem with it.

Incidentally, Krauthammer has been getting some flak from the left for this column, objecting to a journalistic diagnosis of how Dick Cheney’s physical health is allegedly affecting his emotional health. Krauthammer is supposedly a hypocrite because he has traded on his credentials as a psychiatrist to accuse liberals of suffering from “Bush derangement syndrome” and “delusions.” I don’t buy it. Nobody who read those columns figured Krauthammer was making a serious medical diagnosis. The article he was criticizing was entirely devoted to quack medicine.
