It’s hard to believe that Noam Scheiber has actually penned a defense of liberal bed-wetting. “I pissed my pants, in retrospect, for no good reason, but I was justified in soiling myself because things could have turned out differently. In fact, if I hadn’t made a puddle in my pants, the administration might not have taken my fears seriously enough to avoid them coming true.”
No, no, and no.
The comparison isn’t between bed-wetting liberals and delusional Republicans. The comparison is between those of us who have the steel to stand up to the Republicans and those who wet themselves with fear. It’s also between those of us who were right and those who were wrong.
