which leaves McCain out trying to find relevance! Bwahahahahaha!
I love this point made by Ben Smith today:
I'm struck by how politically foolish this assault appears to be. Bush attacking Obama, and Obama counter-attacking Bush, while John McCain sits on the sidelines, is a disastrous dynamic for the GOP. The more Obama can frame this race as him vs. the most unpopular president in modern history, the easier a time he'll have in the fall.
And the faux pas happens on the day that McCain delivered his momentous, brilliant, awe-inspiring, fantastic (as in it's all a great big fantasy)
2013 speech, and it is a time when he's desperately trying to get some airtime and attention because our two candidates have sucked all the oxygen out of the universe...and now McSame is relegated to snippets right before commercial.
More importantly, Bush gave us such a gift! Now the dichotomy is set up for more and more rounds of Bush versus Obama (just where we all want it!! w00t!) - which left McCain pathetically trying to make himself relevant. And McCain had a hell of a choice before him, to go with Bush or to condemn the statement. Either choice puts him in the hotseat with a large group of people. He chose Bush. Bad choice.
So now it's Bush and McCain (and nobody else) versus Obama and Jimmy Carter and the entire Democratic Party... ha ha ha!
I hope they're all pissing their pants tonight - this debacle right after the MS-01 seat victory. Bwahahaha! I am grinning today.
