So the candidate who was scolding Biden on Thursday night for ‘looking backwards, and pointing fingers’ is now embracing this approach, and with a vengeance. Obama-Biden was only making a relatively near-term reference to the current administration. Palin-McCain (sic) wants to make events of the 60's relevant somehow. Good luck with that one, douche bags.
In the veep debate, Biden's act of pointing at the disastrous "cut taxes and spend" policies of the Dubya administration was, in Mrs. Palin's mind, "pointing backwards."
But now, we see that for the McCain campaign to repeatedly bring up William Ayers, a guy who committed crimes in the '60s in an effort to get America out of Vietnam, is just "questioning judgment."
Interesting.
I question McCain's judgment on his association with Charles Keating. On selecting Phil Gramm as his economic advisor. On calling his wife a cunt in front of a roomful of witnesses. On his "plan" to freeze all government spending (except defense, veterans, and entitlements) as the country plunges deeper into recession. On his selection of a veep candidate. On his strong and oft-repeated desire to go to war with Iran. On his promise to "win" in Iraq by installing a democratic and US-friendly government there through bullets and bombs. On his irrational fear of Ahmadinejad somehow nuking Israel.
I really don't see how it's beneficial to the Republicans to want to bring up the "judgment" question when they're running McCain for this election.
"Wait, I thought "pointing backwards" was a bad thing.

The funniest thing about that botched line for me was this: she was lashing at him for looking to the past by quoting a familiar debate quote from 1980 prefaced by a quote from 1919. Both of which, I'm fairly certain, are in the past.
