DNC v Michael Steele
Check out this piece by emptywheel about the DNC’s response to the Michael Steele comments about the war in Afghanistan:
A number of people have taken the DNC to task for its Rovian attack on RNC Chair Michael Steele for comments suggesting we might fail in Afghanistan (Glenn Greenwald, Greg Sargent, Adam Serwer). The only thing I would add to their comments is to note that not only a majority of the Democratic caucus in the House–as Glenn points out–but also two-thirds of Democrats in polls are ready to end the Afghan war, most of them strongly. Is the institutional Democratic Party trying to score political points on an issue that a solid majority of their party opposes? Really, we’ve gotten that stupid?!?
But what really demonstrates the stupidity of the move is how it puts us in ideological and political partnership with Liz “BabyDick” Cheney–who has called for Steele’s firing over his comments.
There’s more.
I like the way Wheeler calls Liz Cheney “Babydick”. Somebody should copyright that phrase.
This Land is Your Land…
Happy 4th of July everybody!!
