Republican Tools

Matt and Josh are far more insightful than I am. They see the same things I do but nicely. Josh has this to say:

Obama also had a moment when he went after Blitzer over his constant invocation of the presumption that no significant problems can ever be solved. But it was too fleeting.

S#%t he should have told him off but it was nice to see Obama call Blitzer out. Matt says what I think about Blitzer, but politely:

Wolf Blitzer's main interest is in asking questions designed to put Democrats on the wrong side of public opinion,

Oh it gets better

The point, after all, is to force a choice -- piss off an interest group, or say something that could be used in a GOP attack ad.

Josh has some of Wolf's questions at the end of his post that are just wrong.

1. Do you believe there are any times when abortion is killing a baby? Yes or No?

2. If a million people die in the next 9/11, would you be willing to chill out about torture? Yes or no?

Those last two questions are not asked to help the public make informed decisions. They are gotcha questions.
