Fooling some of the people all of the time

MANIFESTO

As usual, Digby nails what's currently going on in the presidential campaigns, and, I have to say, I'm pretty tired of it all, having seen this scenario play out over and over and over and over again.

Meanwhile, closer to home, a guy who absolutely deserves to be excoriated (see here and here) has been pretty much let off the hook.

What's wrong with this picture?
