Another of those sentences that explain so much

I've been sort of idly wondering about the reaction to the Scott McClellan book. One would expect the cries of "Treason!" from the Bush camp. That's what I'd be hollering were I a Bushite.

Then this in this morning's Wall Street Journal from the redoubtable Miss Noonan:

The left, while embracing the book's central assertions, will paint him as a weasel who belatedly 'fessed up. They're big on omertà on the left. It's part of how they survive.

The left and the code of the mafia. What a fascinating insight.
