From a reader:
Dear Jonah,
In your post entitled, Biden as a “Governing Pick” you make some great points I’d like to echo.
Largely overlooked, however, is this exchange between Chris Wallace and David Axelrod on FNS just recently. Here’s the money quote after Wallace asks this. “On a matter of judgment, the kind of thing that Rick Davis is talking about, wasn’t Obama wrong and McCain right about the troop surge?”
AXELROD: Well, first of all, you want to talk about a matter of being profoundly wrong in judgment, it was the judgment to go into Iraq in the first place…
Let me get this straight. Obama’s veep pick, according to Axelrod, didn’t have a lapse in judgment or was mistaken in his early support for invading Iraq. No. He was “profoundly wrong in judgment” by voting “to go into Iraq in the first place.” But not profoundly wrong enough in his or their judgment to be Vice President of the United States. Huh?
And this from the campaign that picked Joe Biden and has the tenacity to proclaims “judgment” is there forte? Read the whole exchange. It gets better.
