Ah, the Moose
It’s been so long since I wiped Wittman from my consciousness, that I had forgotten what a completely worthless fucktard he is. And not just for the talking about himself in the third person way. Well, there’s a reminder today
Marshall Wittmann, a former Republican political strategist now with the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, said Pelosi may have resurrected her party’s most deadly liability — voters’ lack of trust in the party on national security.
“If Karl Rove was writing the timing of this, he wouldn’t have written it any differently, with the president of the United States expressing resolve and the Democratic leader offering surrender,” Wittmann said, referring to Bush’s top adviser. “For Republicans, this is manna from heaven.”
David Sirota, a Democratic strategist in Montana long critical of the party leadership’s timidity, fired back: “It is not surprising that a bunch of insulated elitists in the Washington establishment — most of whom have never served in uniform — would stab the Democratic Party in the back and attack the courage of people like Vietnam War hero Jack Murtha and Nancy Pelosi for their stand on Iraq.”
Wittman is a chickenhawk former Kristian Koalition soldier who is now part of the “centrist” DLC. The same centrist DLC who is irrelevant anywhere outside of beltway punditry, the DLC whose chickenhawk status on Iraq has hurt the Dems, the DLC whose constant backstabbing and counterproductivity makes them effectively an arm of the RNC and Rove. The same DLC who has one, repeat, one, claim to fame: Bill Clinton.
Make no mistake, Wittman here is calling Murtha a coward just as much as the wicked witch Jean Schmidt did.
That they continue to employ Wittman is just another brick in the wall regarding their continued uselessness. DLC, backers of Wittman, both Clintons, and Lieberman. Hopefully, they’ll switch sides and help the GOP lose elections just like they did to the Dems. That Josh Marshall remains friends with Wittman and provides him a forum to air his views is the single largest factor that keeps me away from JMM in droves. Wittman is a cancer. He needs to be isolated and excised from the “Democratic” punditry.
