The Terrorism That Dare Not Speak Its Name

David Warren on the media cliches, false presidential sincerity and political correctness in the aftermath of the Ft. Hood Massacre.

Money Q:

President Barack Obama's display on Thursday made my point more clearly than it usually can be made, for he turned on a dime. He assumed the "presidential grieving tone" over the Fort Hood massacre, the moment after he'd just done an equally scripted segment of light joking banter for the benefit of the Tribal Nations Conference he was addressing. Millions in the television audience must have watched this incredibly cynical "quick flip." I wonder how many noticed it?

More than a few.
