No Surprise

Regardless of how the Supreme Court decides on healthcare, the strength of the conservative argument vs the liberal argument came as a gigantic surprise to many liberal commentators. Why?

Thus, the strength of the conservative arguments only came as a surprise to Toobin, Greenhouse and others because they evidently spent two years putting their fingers in their ears and singing, “La la la, I’m not listening” whenever the conservative argument was being advanced.

This comes as no surprise to me as many liberal arguments post-9/11 and GW Bush in general, seem to suffer from the same finger-in-the-ear quality, when it came to the Iraq War, War on Terror, etc. A bad habit.
