Memo for the Fall
Josh Marshall adds an important comment to an analysis of President Bush's offensive and historically inaccurate remarks about Sen. Obama and appeasement written by one of the Talking Points Memo readers:
On balance I'd say that each time President Bush shames his office by transgressing the unwritten rules of the American polity, it's incumbent on everyone to rebuke him. As a political matter, though, it doesn't amount to that much. Every time the president does something like this, the Democratic nominee needs to point out again that President Bush bungled the country into a disastrous war that has damaged America, failed to find Osama bin Laden, funded it all but driving us further into debt to China and various Gulf sheikdoms. And McCain supports it all 100%.Always stay on the offensive.
That is excellent advice.
