Nicole Belle, Crooks and Liars — Keith Olbermann brings my favorite talking head, Air America’s Rachel Maddow, to discuss the fumbling and cowardly manner in which Dennis Kucinich’s motion to impeach Dick Cheney was handled yesterday.
| I don’t know what genius political consultant has advised the Democratic leadership that it’s a bad idea to spend hours of prime time on the floor of the Congress reminding the country that Mr. 11% Approval Rating is a bad guy, of whom they disapprove and who they would like to see held accountable. It’s supposed to be Politics 101 that you associate yourself with good things and you are seen to frequently and rabidly denounce bad things. I don’t know what weird Beltway consultant dictionary doesn’t have a picture of Dick Cheney under the entry for “bad things.” It just seems like a really shortsighted move by the Democratic leadership. |
