You're going to blame Kerry for pointing out that Allawi is a puppet instead of Bush for bringing his puppet to the United States to campaign for him? Get real. At least Lockhart was polite. The blunt way to put it is that Allawi is Bush's bitch. Did he have to register as a 529 or is he just part of the Bush/Cheney campaign? In all seriousness, if he didn't want people to call him a puppet, he could have gotten his own talking points instead of using the ones provided by the campaign. You eschew a bipartisan foreign policy and staff the CPA with Republican hacks, and so on, and this is what you get.

The reason Josh Marsall used to spew nonsense like this was clear - he was angling for a spokesman position in the [Democrat Nominee of the moment's] cabinet. Even he, realizing this is a suicidal, worthless position to take these days, has gone more macro.
Yglesias [who - now that I researched it - is a clueless, pompous asshole] still doesn't get it [but then again, unlike Josh, he needs a rep and a good job] and still shares this seditious sentiment.
Ty, I love you man, but for you to defend Lockhart on this is sad. I called Bush out on steel and farm and the Marriage Amendment. Step the fuck up, get off the party line and realize the damage these disgusting comments make.
