Did he get a horse's head from Uncle Rham....or an unexplained sudden acceleration into a light pole?
Oh, yeah. Meant to mention that for anyone not clicking through to the Slimes. (Who can blame 'em?)
There was a weird, two sentence parenthetical in the editorial, attempting to shift blame away from Zero. The editors say, basically, "we don't know, but we hear..." that Obama ignored his Mid East advisers and instead listened to political advisers, "specifically his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel." (How is it that they "don't know exactly what happened," but they can be "specific" about Dead Fish?)
Of course, once again, the rest of us had this analysis long, long ago: The Bamster and his Chicago cohorts think they're too smart to need the advice of experts. Whether it's about when to bow, or how to fix the Middle East, they already got it all figured out.
But the NYT editors aren't yet willing to make that conclusion explicit, or are too dumb to have connected the dots. So we just get that odd parenthetical, like it wasn't really Barry's fault, and as if ignoring experts and blundering ahead with his own stupid ideas isn't what he's consistently done again and again and again.
