Brooks nails it on Rush, Beck & Hannity:
So the myth returns. Just months after the election and the humiliation, everyone is again convinced that Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and the rest possess real power. And the saddest thing is that even Republican politicians come to believe it. They mistake media for reality. They pre-emptively surrender to armies that don’t exist.
The Weekly Standard nails it on Obama's contempt for reality in Afghanistan:
Barack Obama met with General Stanley McChrystal for about 25 minutes this morning in Copenhagen, after McChrystal flew to Denmark from London to meet with the commander-in-chief.
A meeting is better than no meeting, to be sure. But the circumstances surrounding this one are revealing. Obama's first substantive face-to-face meeting with the man he handpicked to lead US forces in Afghanistan -- the war that Obama has said for seven years is a war that must be won -- lasted about as long as it takes to get a haircut. And it came after the White House spent days deflecting criticism after McChrystal told "60 Minutes" that he had only spoken with Obama once in 70 days.
