You really have to admire the message discipline of the Democrats. One of Dodd’s potential opponents is Linda McMahon, former head of the World Wrestling outfit. Connecticut Democrats have been attacking her, making what is a quite accurate charge that it is not the PG family friendly entertainment that she claims it to be. Unless, of course, you consider necrophilia, rape and public sex to be PG ratable activities.
A large share of the blame for Dodd’s current predicament must be laid at the feet of the Obama administration, specifically the Treasury Department officials that tried to shift the blame for allowing bailout bonuses from themselves to Dodd. They were wildly successful.
Now Obama is going to undermine the Connecticut Democrats’ anti-McMahon message by doing a thirty second “greeting to the troops” using the World Wrestling platform for his little spiel. Anything for the troops of course. It’s patently obvious that morale would have suffered if Obama had not chosen that particular stage. It’s yet another example of the Democrats incredible inability to speak with one voice, even in the most minor fashion. Naturally, McMahon has seized on his appearance as validation of her claim that her company is Disney east.
I realize that it was not good when everything Bush did was political, but that doesn’t mean that Obama should completely ignore the political.
