Snow in May

Tony Snow's first "analysis" is exactly as expected - partisan bullshit. CNN will not get a single unconventional or nonconservative point from this man, and they know it. He'll be a reliable conduit for Republican talking points. Ferchrissake, he "thinks" the economy is going to break in McCain's favor. Can't fault him on the break part, just not the sense he intended.

Again, use that mute button. Listening won't make you smarter or better informed - quite the contrary.

Keep the bullshit out of your ears!

A good case of kiss my ass

So, Mitch McConnell and Tony Snow are outraged, outraged that MoveOn.org would smack Gen. Petraeus around in print. Oh, and John Boehner, too. And, of course, Joe Lieberman (I-I), who never saw a Bushist talking point he wouldn't, caaaww, mimic.

CNN even quotes John Kerry as calling the ad "over the top", and Kerry's a guy who has actually seen over the top. Why he mistakes this slightly juvenile play on words for excess, I can't say. (Of course, now I could be quoted as calling MoveOn's ad "juvenile".)

Yesterday, CNN also had Harry Reid dissing the ad, though they've "corrected" it to say "a member of the Democratic leadership, speaking on background".

What real Democrats need to say is this, "I've looked at the ad, and only a very small child would think there's something wrong with it. No, I'm not going to condemn our allies at MoveOn for unveiling the truth, and tobacco-money bagman Mitch McConnell can kiss my ass."

That last part, maybe not, but a guy can dream, can't he?
