Re ChiCom cheerleader Thomas Friedman’s embarrassing column, I wrote about this phenomenon back when it started during the election campaign.

The left spent much of the 43rd presidency fantasizing about the assassination of Bush. They seem determined to spend the 44th fantasizing about the assassination of Obama. Neither manifestation of this peculiar condition seems to require anything from our side of the aisle.

Strange. As I wrote back then:

Would it help if I made you a nice cup of chamomile tea and you lie down in a darkened room for half an hour?

Perhaps with something nice and aurally soothing like Andy Williams’ Greatest Hits. Oh no, wait, he’s part of the problem.
