Mea Culpa

Jane, at Firedoglake, makes the following observation.

Digby's right -- do not reinforce Republican narratives, ever. It's hard when you want to point out that certain Democrats seem to be...ouch...lacking critical anatomical parts, but the much harder task is to find another way to criticize them. The GOP does a bang-up job characterizing the Democrats as weak, they sure don't need us to do their job for them.

I must confess to having been guilty of this crime repeatedly over the past few weeks. It's just been too maddening to watch. It feels a bit like I feel when playing golf. You know exactly where you want the ball to go and exactly how it should be hit to make it go there, but it just never goes there.

I am, however, going to try to take Jane (and Digby) seriously about this. After all, we are going into election mode. So, I'm going to try to focus my criticism where it is most deserved -- on the Thugs that are running our government.
