I even patted myself on the back because I called that the left had made a big mistake the instant I saw him being cross-examined by that ugly self-righteous tub, before the results came pouring in to confirm my intuition. But this shows how intuition can both be right and wrong at the same time. Eliza — yes, I too used to think Ollie was great.

Thanks so much for the post. At the time I thought Ollie North was so righteous in the Iran-Contra affair. Looking back and reevaluating it, I'm shocked at my own naivite, or just plain following the right wing crowd.
