Feingold Goes There
For those of you who were wondering how long it would take ranking Democrats to blame the Bhutto assassination on the Bush administration and the Iraq war, wonder no more. Russ Feingold has done the honors:
The focus on Iraq has been a real disservice to focusing on this part of the world where a great, frankly somebody who had great leadership and following, has been killed.
It’s not immediately apparent from Feingold's comment how our “focus” could have prevented today's crime, but what's that matter? In the fever swamp, all that is wrong with the world inevitably traces its origins to some sort of Bushian malfeasance.
Kudos to Senator Feingold – he even managed to outdo the Daily Kos today. I’ve been trolling the Kossacks' lair, waiting for the screed insisting that Bush practically pulled the trigger himself. But the reactions over there have been considerably more mature than the silly senator's.
