Talking-point pivot
Yesterday's Brand-R talking point was "Oh, how awful!!!!! MoveOn.org is calling General Petraeus nasty names!!!! Calling him Betray-Us!!!!! This crosses all lines of decency!!!!! It's Treason!!!! Treason!!!! Treason!!!!"
Aside from the unusual screechiness over a trivial bit of name-calling, I suspect the Brand-R Talking-Points Club will have to spin an amazing pirouette.
Petraeus didn't help the 'stay-the-course' line at all. When asked whether the war is making us any safer, he said "I don't know" in a tone that strongly implied "No, it isn't."
This will be fun to watch. Brand-R is going to end up calling him Betray-Us before it's all over. ¶ 12:25 AM
