The tale of many a liberal

For anyone who has lingering doubts that Gary Wills is not a know-it-all pontificator of the worst kind (that being wrong more times than not - and stridently so), I urge you to read this. Original article by Wills here.

If you're really looking for an interesting read, check out this great review of his most recent book. Wills strikes me as the sort of sort who encounters something mesmerizing in early adulthood and for the remainder of his life seeks to construct and maintain an orthodoxy around and upon that something.

Sometimes that something is flat-out wrong. And the orthodoxy?

Such is the tale of many a liberal.
