So let's just say that MoveOn.org had chosen a different rhyme to use in their infamous NY Times ad taking Gen. David Petraeus to task for his report on Iraq. What if, instead of rhyming "Petraeus" with "betray us," they rhymed him with "Amadeus," as in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the greatest musical composers of all time. Would we even be discussing what kind of advertising rate the Times gave MoveOn? No - we'd be debating more critical matters, such as which was the better work, Nozze di Figaro or Don Giovanni. Or we'd be discussing the true merits of perhaps Amadeus's most familiar composition, Eine kleine Nachtmusik. And of course we'd be discussing whether or not Amadeus died of syphillis as reported and - most importantly - how he contracted the disease...
