I don't mean being right in the sense that you or I would mean that. I mean he'll be right whether he is or not, and will defend an indefensible position in the face of overwhelming evidence.
When it comes to debate, his opinion is Davy Crockett and the facts are the Mexicans.
Like the people who are out there saying that this mortgage crisis was caused by Democrats wanting poor people to own homes....or that the financial mess is because of too much government regulation, not a lack of regulation....and that FDR's policies didn't help us get out of the depression, they actually prolonged the depression.
I guess they either have to say that, or admit that they've been wrong all this time, and the latter just doesn't seem to be an option.
