Libruls: Yglesias' Confession

Matt comes out under pressure from Darth Rove:

I wouldn't presume to speak for Senator Durbin, but Karl Rove sure has my number. Everything I've ever written criticizing the mistreatment of detainees at the hands of the American government has been designed to encourage terrorists to defeat the United States of America and set back the cause of freedom. Indeed, the entirety of my (admittedly brief) career in journalism has been motivated by nothing more than a spiteful detestation of my country and my fellow citizens, and a treasonous desire to see them brought low.

Fortunately, we have good men like Deputy Chief of Staff Rove on hand to defend the nation from dastardly Enemies of the People such as myself. Howard Dean's controversial rhetoric pales in comparison to my crimes.

Everybody hurts. Sometimes.
