Red Snapper
I emailed Kurtz too.
Paraphrasing, I reminded him Obama was right about Iraq and being "right" should confer "credibility" as applied knowledge should count more than theoretical expertise.
I was polite but pointed and tried to convey that people like him are analyzing everything through this lens that says Republicans are Serious, Democrats are not. They never question the foundation of the lens itself.
Of course, this assumes for a second that Kurtz is honestly misguided but his record suggests he is more sinister than misinformed. But if he's disingenuous there's no real way to reach him anyway so there's no point flinging that at him.
