Cynics and the USS Abraham Lincoln
Somehow the sacrifice of [the] men and women [of the Abraham Lincoln] never registers. It's not worth commenting on. The only thing that matters is that this was a campaign event and it's to be judged as just another rally on the way to the convention. The ship, the soldiers, the ocean--all of it is treated as mere bunting, as a Deaveresque device to provide pretty pictures. This is what passes for wisdom.
Indeed.
UPDATE: Unsuprisingly, the New York Times is one culprit.
