Apt Description?

Does this...

...nattering nabobs of negativism who are deeply pessimistic about America's future.

Sound at all a little like this...

This Election is simply, in my estimation, an exercise in pretty pictures.

And if so, can we all agree to disagree with Fred Hiatt where he says this...

Eeyore's friends never doubted his good intentions.

Cause it seems pretty clear to me that such pessimism as seen in the above link re: the election in Iraq is written not in good faith, but simply is a manifestation of a pathology of power hunger.
