Evidence that the tide is turning

Hans Blix managed to come to campus without bringing out screaming College Republicans protesting his very existence. This is big news. Eric Schlosser managed to get more protests for daring state that fast food doesn't have a right to undermine labor standards and contaminate our food supply. If a U.N. weapons inspector can come to campus unmolested, it may just mean that *gasp*, people aren't so gung-ho about the war anymore. We can only hope.
There will always be a reality-impaired College Republican on hand to dominate the article with some outlandishly dumb quotes, of course. Today our Republican is Sachiv Mehta. After revealing that the U.N. has no "legitimate power" (legitimatcy is determined by College Republicans nowadays, not world leaders), he hits us with this brillant insight:

"Using the U.N. was a measure that had no use - it's almost like [Blix] is speaking with no credibility, because he has no authority behind what he's saying," Mehta said. "I think the central point is that there was bad intelligence."

From what I can figure, he's saying that while Blix was right and Bush was wrong, Blix was still the one with "bad intelligence". I can only imagine what he says to teachers who mark his answers wrong on tests.
