Yesterday, the ever amiable and genteel, Michael Savage, accused the the Obama administration of diplomatic amateurism regarding its handling of the power crisis in Honduras. I asked Michael Savage several times to explain his indictment of amateurism. Finally he responded with all the warmth that he can muster in his heart, by referring to an article of the Honduran Constitution. little did I realize that this master of vulgarity had knowledge in Honduran Constitutional law.
Today I encountered a most interesting editorial in THE WASHINGTON POST. it's entitled "Honduras Gets Messier But There is a Clear Strategy: Elections." I found the following excerpt enlightening:
"...Mr. Zelaya [the ousted president] was reduced to making hysterical accusations about being bombarded with radiation and toxic gases by 'Israeli mercenaries.'
"Such behavior ought to deter any responsible member of the Organization of American States--starting with Brazil [in whose embassy in Tegucigalpa Manuel Zelaya found sanctuary]--from supporting more than a token return by Mr. Zelaya to office.
The Obama administration has backed such a restoration (as have we) so as to void Mr. Zelaya's illegal removal from the country in June and thus uphold the larger principle of respect for democratic order in the region."
I think that Michael Savage's obsessive dislike for Obama prevents him from considering larger principles. Savage can come up with snide short insults against president Obama, but he seems perfectly incapable of any profound criticism that might substantively help the president and the republic as well. I consider Savage's negative observations about the affairs of the republic marginal at best.
