Taranto’s Soderberg Saga
James Taranto’s Soderberg comments continue to stir readers.
He quotes from a reader, Joel Engel, who says:
As for Soderberg, she was answering serious questions–even those asked in a tone of bemused irony–seriously. After all, she’d come on the air to promote not a book of Rodney Dangerfield’s best one-liners, but a serious-minded critique of the Bush team. Her great misfortune is that it was written, thanks to the long lead time publishing requires, long before the news turned unrelentingly good. So she now has to distance herself from her book’s title, thesis and text. A smart woman, she no doubt had to recognize that her opening remark about the administration’s finding that it’s harder than they thought to bend the world “to their will” was a complete non sequitur, given the events of the day. It’s a terrible thing, apparently, to consider yourself a member of the intellectual elite driven to effete obsolescence by a cowboy. Worse, though, is to believe that you’re going to have a bestseller after being a featured segment on “60 Minutes,” but instead current events have consigned you to six uncomfortable minutes on the conflicted Jon Stewart show. Hence: There’s always Iran and North Korea.
He also quotes someone ripping him apart as a liar.
And concludes with:
One could no doubt also find examples of Republicans rooting for bad things to happen when Democrats were in power. We’re all human, after all.
