Victor Davis Hanson, or why power, and its obsession, corrupts

This is why Lord Acton said that power corrupts.

Victor Davis Hanson says Obama's too nice

Because it, and the obsession with it, makes people unbearable pricks. Because when they exercise it, or obsess over it, they often become so invested in defending their uses of it and advocacy for its uses, that they can so rarely ever admit when they might be wrong. Like Victor Davis Hanson.

Victor Davis Hanson is the right-wing version of Paul Krugman. He is clever. Too clever by half. And obsessed with power. And always right. Always. No matter how wrong he might be.

And that is why Lord Acton is one of the more honest founders of our liberal democratic heritage.

And why Victor Davis Hanson, like Paul Krugman, is a columnist who can't get respect. Except from the people who think he's always right.
