"ON the morning after George W. Bush spoke to the nation from Fort Bragg, Americans started marching off to Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds." Both halves of this double feature invoked 9/11, perfectly timed for this particular holiday."-Frank Rich, from Sunday’s New York Times column. I’m convinced Rich didn’t write this column last week. He wrote it seven months ago, when he noticed a “War of the Worlds” remake on the movie release schedule and figured “hey, I can tie this to Bush!”
Every other column Rich has written in the past six years has presumably been hatched under similar circumstances.
