I’m coming down with a serious case of Derangement Syndrome Derangement Syndrome. I understood accusations of Bush Derangement Syndrome, even Clinton Derangement Syndrome. But Palin Derangement Syndrome? Obama Derangement Syndrome? Joe the Plumber Derangement Syndrome (!!!)?
I propose a truce. I simply cannot handle four years of talk of McDonnell Derangement Syndrome, Jindal Derangement Syndrome, Crist Derangement Syndrome, Cantor Derangement Syndrome…

Of course, I’m more dismayed by journalists’ seeming lack of originality than by the actual antipathy that’s occurring across the political spectrum. After all, this is a culture war. Some wars, especially this one, are worth fighting. Calling for a truce right after losing a major battle would be akin to admitting defeat. I, for one, am not prepared to concede to the Godless Church of Liberalism.
