It is some indication of the degeneration in public discourse (pomposity reading getting dangerously off the scale here - bear with me) that when I read Mr Eugenides' latest post I barely so much as blinked when I read the title. After 6 years of the Republican Government, the American left, indeed much of the global left, has become so deranged that Bush-Hitler is an absolutely standard line.

It was only when I re-read the piece that light dawned. Thanks a lot, oh descendant of Thucydides, now I've got tea to wipe off my monitor.
