. . . according to David Broder in his Washington Post online chat last Friday.
"I think the MoveOn ad on Gen. Petraeus was disgraceful, and it probably did serious damage to the effort to shorten the Iraq war."

If he really believes this he should be outraged that our Legislators would let their perceptions of the war be influenced by an ad -- any ad. He should be apoplectic.
But he's smart enough to know that the Republican outrage is just a tactic to change the subject, and he's willing to help them out any way he can. He always has a few spare column inches to help the Republicans feign outrage at something.
And at the end of the online discussion he writes "I want to thank all of you for a stimulating hour. Now I have to go back to work." He so graciously indulged the hoi-polloi for an hour and now he has to go back to work.
Go read the whole thing. It's Broderiffic!
