Getting the General's Back
Posted by

As Talleyrand might say, the Obama campaign's disavowal of Clark's comments on McCain is worse than a crime: it's a blunder. Josh sums it up well, although I think that there is a broader point, which Josh has made at other times. This is an example of what he calls "bitch-slap" politics: can a candidate defend himself and his people, and then move on to attack? Not a good answer today from the Obama campaign.
But you can tell the General that you've got his back, here. Give him the traditional $20.08. As Atrios would say: reward good behavior.
