Reversal of Fortunes

180 words.

I found this post on Too Conservative somewhat amusing:  When Surrogates Attack.  It’s a warning to Barack Hussein Obama and his surrogates about going down the road of attacking the military service of John Sidney McCain.

First of all, I have to mention the obvious:  All this outrage about Wesley Kanne Clark’s remarks is completely manufactured.  Gen. Clark is 100% correct — getting shot down is absolutely not a qualification to be president.  And before you start yelling, neither is not getting shot down.  The whole thing is a moot point, completely irrelevent to the process of selecting a president - just like virtually every other news story about the presidential campaign so far.

But I digress… the amusing part about any Republican’s faux outrage is that in the 2004 elections, they already established the precedent that it’s perfectly acceptable for the candidate with no military experience to attack the military credentials of his opponent.  And not just acceptable, but successful.  So naturally now that the military boot is on the other foot, so to speak, somehow everything is different.
