Can You Say “Bought and Paid For”?

From the article by Michael Novak that Christopher Manion blogs here, I can’t resist reproducing this brief quotation:

“In that same spirit, I find it hard to believe that the Creator who gave us liberty will ignore President Bush’s willingness to sacrifice his own presidency for the liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq — their 50 million citizens, and perhaps their progeny for ages to come. A kind of cosmic justice (which does not always materialize, I recognize) calls for vindication.”

(You can insert your own what-the-heck-is-this-guy-on or what-grown-man-would-honestly-say-such-a-thing comment here.)

On a completely unrelated note, I hear that foundation money comes in much greater amounts when you proclaim yourself in favor of foreign interventionism.
