Liz Cheney that is, and the one-two punch comes from the Washington Post's top ten opinion stories of 2007 by pageviews:
2. Why Bush Will Be a Winner by William Kristol, published July 15.
A rousing (and controversial) defense of the president's legacy. The rebuttal, Why Bush is a Loser by David Corn, was also high on the most-popular list. But the top spot goes to:
1. Retreat Isn't an Option by Liz Cheney, published Jan. 23.
Cheney's piece was excellent ("We will have to fight these terrorists to the death somewhere, sometime. We can't negotiate with them or "solve" their jihad. If we quit in Iraq now, we must get ready for a harder, longer, more deadly struggle later."), and Kristol's...well, it prompted my lefty mother in-law to call on a Sunday morning and ask 'he doesn't really believe this, does he?' I love my mother in-law, but I've yet to come across a more certain validation for any piece of intellectual work.
