Stage Manager

When he's not out to destroy the practice of good governance here in North Carolina, John Hood, stage manager at the Art Pope Puppetshow, likes to spread his right-wing lunacy farther and wider than the Old North State. For example, he wrote a comment earlier this month in the National Review:

Basically, anti-war Democrats think that their statements and policy proposals are a response to an impossible situation in Iraq. They have it backward. Their statements and policy proposals are a main reason why the situation in Iraq is so dire. Like it or not, the enemy is counting on them — it is trying to manipulate American public opinion, because it can't win on the battlefield. Their goal is an ignominious American retreat. It cannot be in our interest to comply.
