"When you're taking flak...

…you know you’re over the target,” was a phrase much used by Mike Huckabee during the Republican primaries. I’m no fan of Huckabee, but the cliché is accurate.

To wit: progressive muckety muck Michael Tomasky’s reaction to my Examiner piece about the move to change the lyrics to Maryland, My Maryland. :

He states that he disagrees with my conclusions and adds the snarky insult, “At any rate. Maryland is a liberal state, Brother Newgent, like it or not. Let's get with the times.”

Only, Tomasky never actually addresses my argument. In fact, he adds more strength to it.

Of course, Tomasky is no stranger to clumsy critiques.
