Some Americans forget the visceral fear the Bush Administration imposed on government and citizens. Those years are now a dim memory, like a bad weekend at a beach house. But we remember. People stopped trusting their friends. How quiet dinners would be arranged. After the second bottle of wine, someone might make a tentative gesture signaling that perhaps they didn’t agree with the Administration 100%. We remember their real fear that they just made a mistake reaching out. That they would be betrayed.

Ah yes, the old Fegelein – Johnson comparison. Love it – Johnson would freak at that and in days gone by he would have launched a blog war against you for it.

Liberal bloggers should ignore him – he’s a tool and he thinks it’s important for a civilian to call the President Commander in Chief. Loser. He is just a not smart Frum.

To us, Johnson is not much more than a minor league version of Hermann Fegelein, Himmler’s adjutant to the Corporal’s court. Fegelein enjoyed all the privileges (including dalliances) and stayed until April 1945 when he suddenly had a light bulb go off that he backed a loser. His survival meant more than loyalty. And voila. The Corporal suddenly was a criminal lunatic. Whether Johnson suffers the meme-equivalent of execution for treason depends on his tenacity and how stupid liberal bloggers may be in giving him even another 10 seconds of fame.
