Jonah, Wolcott is unhappy because the pictures and the drama of Sunday all seem to illustrate the Bush side of the story. On nearly every other day, the media show dramatic footage of violence that whispers “quagmire, get out now!” The election footage might whisper to Americans “Hey, maybe it was worth it after all” or “Hey, I guess it wasn’t all for oil” or “Hey, maybe they are really happy we changed their country.” On every other day, the lefties suggest that conservative criticism of media gloom is denying “reality,” when we would say no, this successful election is the fruit of months of planning and nation-building that the media ignored between bombings. The shoe switches to the other foot on days like Sunday.
