George Won't

Maybe it's just that I resent his sneering attitude toward Harriet Miers, but George Will seems to have a sour attitude about everything. It's as if he thinks he's too smart for the rest of us, and will be well satisfied if all our efforts in Iraq go to hell. Does he really think that nobody else recognizes that possibility? It's pretty elementary that if you want to accomplish something, you keep your goal in front, rather than dwelling on the possibility of failure. Nobody expects George Will to be a cheerleader, but his sniffy grumbling seems more resentful than realistic. If he needs an epitaph, I recommend, "I knew this wouldn't turn out well."
