Water-carrying for the genius
by digby
Joan Walsh decisively dispatches this wingnut linkbait so I won't bother to engage it more fully Suffice to say that the I'd be very surprised if the Obama White House felt that, on the whole, the progressive blogosphere is a particularly loyal constituency.
But it provides a nice excuse to revisit one of my favorite right wing blogger quotes of all time, from 2005:
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.
It's entirely possible that there are progressive bloggers out there who have said similar things about President Obama in his 5th year in office. But I think it's pretty clear that such "water-carrying" was perfected by the right wing fever swamps about a decade ago.
