Oscar-Prep Quote Of The Day

Charles Krauthammer from his exquisite column in today's WaPo:

"Syriana," [unlike Oliver Stone's "JFK," Hollywood's previous nadir], is meant for export, carrying the most vicious and pernicious mendacities about America to a receptive world.

Most liberalism is angst- and guilt-ridden, seeing moral equivalence everywhere. "Syriana" is of a different species entirely -- a pathological variety that burns with the certainty of its malign anti-Americanism. Osama bin Laden could not have scripted this film with more conviction.
