In Which We Peruse the Depths of Doc Sanity's Crazy Talk

Doc:

President Bush ... is behind every evil like some modern-day Moriarity, a criminal and godlike genius who is simultaneously a moron and incompetent. We are not talking about a mere dislike of the President; nor is this simply "politics as usual". Rather, it is an unreasoning and implacable, visceral hatred of George W. Bush for the sin of existing. This hatred is so intense that it is stunning to any rational observer; and its manifestations have been justly made into a diagnosis of "Bush Derangement Syndrome". Clinically, the symptoms of this syndrome are as disabling and as dysfunctional as any other post-traumatic stress disorder.


To review: criticism of President Bush = this. Is it even worth noting that the comparison to Moriarty is spurious? First, the Professor actually was a brilliant. Second, he, unlike Bush, had only a little bit of blood on his hands.

(The fact that Madam Sanity still tosses around the BDS trope -- as if the bullshit term speaks for itself -- betrays a phenomenally feeble mind.)
