The perfect Barb. Yes, in the old days great truths were slyly opened with a bit of revenge in the chicanery of slippery methods of attack by simple wordage. The most satisfying of all was the way the no-names mentioned reacted to the sting of the Barb. The time to gloat was at hand. The victim of the Barb had reacted at once.
The Barb mentioned only prospects of the student who spends little time seriously with his books and takes satisfaction with gratuitous C grades for graduation. The one shooting the Barb was no great surprise at this time of the year. However, the Barbed has practiced success at less than factual implants. They went to work and pulled the same tired trick of planting the same old dirty label to one who served his country in honor and personal bloodshed.
Being well along in age, very little gets by my tired eyes and worn mind. How can so many supposedly experienced media never grasp such a Barb? One man with such a ranking is famous for his careless days in the Ivy League and gratuitous C handouts. That same man is the most pronounced captive of the Iraq tragedy.
He sits alone in his responsibility for the greatest mistake I have witnessed in my 87 years. He sits in that Barb forever.
