Ugh.

You could've seen this coming a mile away, but between its fallacious "body count" article and the laughable contention that Barack Obama is the most liberal Senator evar!1!, National Journal has effectively become a punchline.









Isn't that nice.

A Hewitt commenter -- probably one of the two or three people left on Earth who takes the National Journal seriously -- paints this grim scenario:

Imagine a President Barack and a lib congress. Appointing liberal judges. Defunding the military. Making Taiwan vulnerable. Giving amnesty. Opening borders. Befriending radical Islam. Validating dictators. Nationalizing heathcare. Raising taxes. Ignoring the Constitution. Growing the nanny-state. Preventing oil drilling. Perpetuating a failing educational system. Promoting imminent domaine. Dangerous times.

Don't know about you, but most of that stuff sounds wonderful. Well, except for the "ignoring the Constitution" business. We certainly can't have that.
