“A Casualty of Wall Street”
As you may remember, Howard Wolfson is the former Communications Director for Hillary Clinton ‘08 and a current Fox News contributor. He is also conspicuously absent from the Pinko Christmas card list. After today we may want to rethink that.
Wolfson, whose poor choice in sweaters is legendary, has just wrote a positively scalding analysis of John McCain’s campaign over at The New Republic. The short version: McCain is toast.
Here is an excerpt:
John McCain’s candidacy is as much a casualty of Wall Street as Lehman or Merrill. Like those once vibrant institutions, McCain’s collapse was stunning and quick. One minute you are a well-respected brand. The next you are yelling at the messengers of your demise as all around you the numbers start blinking red and stop adding up.
But wait! There’s more!
Just as President Bush’s failures in Iraq undermined his party’s historic advantage on national security issues, the financial calamity has shown the ruinous implications of the Republican mania for deregulation and slavish devotion to totally unfettered markets.
So Howard, do you want us to send the card to your house or the office?
