How about we agree to set aside gaffs-in-common?
March 26th, 2008From a ham-handed Op-Ed in the American Spectator today (another rehashed look at Obama’s problem with Jews):
Well, it is likely that Obama will soon be having to retract Merrill McPeak. McPeak, who was arrested last year for driving under the influence, apparently has a problem controlling more than his thirst for fermented beverages. He also has a penchant for bashing Israel or, more particularly, Jews who oppose negotiating with terrorists.
Can we just strike advisers’ DUIs from the record as relevant right now? Can a Blumenthal just cancel out a McPeak? Ditto for Clinton’s extramarital indiscretions canceling out Dodd/Kennedy’s on Obama’s side. And while we’re at it, let’s ignore both campaign’s missteps in the Irish & Scottish press. Groovy.
