I'm hoping this was published under and Opinion article in the Globe. I'm an avid reader of the Globe (its the most credible newspaper in the greater Boston Area), and although they do reveal a number of left tendencies, going this far in an article is a bit over the top.
That aside, Occhi did a good job of showing Savage to be a bit off in a lot of his conclusions - rather expected in an Opinion Article.
To save a lot of uneeded point and counter point argument, Savage goes a bit far in some of his assertions and conclusions, but none-the-less has some valid points. Despite their validity though, I can't shake the feeling of this being another whiny anti-Bush article in guise.
Although I'm far from a Bush supportor, I'm getting pretty sick of these types of articles. I think they are important to mark the history of a presidency, to look back and evaluate it. But while Bush is still in office, can the left stop acting like whiny children by calling for impeachment or resignation and instead come up with something more constructive?
I apologize if this post is a bit rough around the edges, I've had a long night of similarly related discussion at a bar with some good friends.
Cheers,
Munk
