Hitch on Hardball

[Michael Perelman]

Is Lapham wrong.  bin Laden will pass.  He may even be dead now.  The
Ashcroft madness may be much harder to reverse.  Noam was telling Doug
yesterday about the hard won victories for more enlightened policies in
the US, yet Ashcroft can extinguish them.

I think it better than to compare the two to see them as a cojoined pair.
Bush and Ashcroft would still be seen as bufoons without bin Laden.
