WHAT??
Haven't we just finished 8 years of "If my guy does it, it must be right by definition"? Haven't we been through a phase where decisions aren't to be weighed on their merits, but on who makes them? Of unquestioning loyalty?
Joan, what the fuck? I thought we were supposed to stand against the sort of party hackery that literally defined the past 8 years.
But at least it sets you up for excuses down the line. "He didn't close Guantanamo? I'm sure he has a reason. He has continued the spying program? Well, he's got our best interests at heart. He didn't even begin to pull out of Iraq? Hey, he knows better than I do."
It's been 2 weeks and we're already seeing a Bush redux. Holy shit.
