"I'm Franklin Foer, editor of The New Republic. My boss

pays me to express opinions, like this one: 'The liberal

blogosphere are a group of people who feel incredibly

disenfranchised. They feel their country's been hijacked

and they're essentially powerless and the only way to

stop it is to scream as loudly as you can'. By contrast, as

one of the country's hijackers, I feel incredibly enfranchised

and powerful. That's why I'm whispering right now."
