Quote of the day
With all of the frothing and spinning by the right about Farenheit911, Kevin Drum of Washington Monthly offers his review of the film.
Kevin appears to like the film but considers it a rather weak polemic.
What I enjoyed the most from Kevin was this particular insight:
So is Fahrenheit 9/11 unfair, full of innuendo and cheap shots, and guilty of specious arguments? Sure. But that just makes it the perfect complement to the arguments of many in the pro-war crowd itself. Perhaps the reason they're so mad is that they see more than a little of themselves in it.
