Tonight I saw George Mitchell on Larry King. Words fail to do justice to how depressing the quality of the discussion was, led by the eponymous senile gnome who has attached himself to CNN like a stomach parasite (Gollum did survive the end of the third Lord of the Rings movie, after all!), the smarmy jingoism of Virginia Senator George Allen (if I hadn't already resolved to give Jim Webb money previously, I would do so now), and the UN Representative of Syria to the UN, basically an immensely skilled liar (his essential point was how much better the Lebanese liked it when the Syrians ran their country for them).
