Let’s Think Of The Wavering Millions Who Need Leaders But Get Gamblers Instead»

Congratulations to Jenna Bush on her wedding. Like a lot of liberal jerks, my perceptions of her were frozen in Smith Point-soaked contempt. But then my friend Dana Goldstein read her book and reported back that she has a lot to offer, and offers it in a thoughtful manner.

Her father is a different story. Tonight he’ll give his daughter away in Crawford. And I hope he’ll find the decency to reflect, if silently, on the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who will never get the chance to be married or to give their daughters away or to wait nervously for their brides-to-be to finish the walk down the aisle, all because of his vanity and his hubris.
