Jay Lerner sitting in for Ed Schultz today is keeping the National Enquirer story that W is hitting the sauce alive on the air. The story recalls the advice that Mamet, the playwright, offered to the Dems in a recent Opinion piece in the LA Times: in a game of poker, the winner has to be willing to raise the ante.
Now, the National Enquirer has been right about some things that at first seemed way out there...Rush on Oxycotin, for example. And the Republicans have never shied away from throwing mud which the Dems are forever wiping off. I think this story is one that elected officials should stay away from but proxies, such as Jay Lerner, Air America and Liberal Talk should keep out there on the airwaves. Let the Bush Crime Family play defense on this while the elected officials like Conyers and Boxer keep asking for enquiries into and accountings for the criminal negligence this administration continues to demonstrate in practically ever area of government. Raise the ante, Dems! Get your poker face on.
