Sour Grapes and Eating Them, Too

RECEIVED Tue., Aug. 7, 2007

Dear Editor,
    To his credit, Louis Black has sniffed out the lunacy of the 9/11 conspiracy crowd in what amounts to a classic case of collective Dan Rather syndrome [“Page Two,” July 13]. The afflicted want something to be true so bad that any and every issue regarding 9/11 bolsters their aphasic argument, truth and reality notwithstanding. What astounds me is that Black is surprised and confused by their tactics and behavior when it seems like business as usual to me (coming from victims of liberal psychosis). Not that agenda-seeking, boorish Bush-bashing hypocrisy ever shamed the far left, but 9/11 drama queens seem to be caught in their own browbeating crossfire.
    Is Bush the imbecile that the broken-record rhetoric of the far left would have you believe, or is he a genius who even fooled the know-it-all liberal media? They can't have their sour grapes and eat them, too.
