A Bushie for Obama?

Michael Gerson, the former presidential speechwriter who enjoyed a mind-meld with President Bush, obviously doesn’t share his old boss’s barely concealed preference for Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama. His column in today’s Washington Post is a scathing assessment of Hillary’s campaign strategy and character. Here’s how it ends:

“Though it is increasingly unlikely, Clinton may still have a path to the nomination -- and what a path it is. She merely has to puncture the balloon of Democratic idealism; sully the character of a good man; feed racial tensions within her party; then eke out a win with the support of unelected superdelegates, thwarting the hopes of millions of new voters who would see an inspiring young man defeated by backroom arm-twisting and arcane party rules.

Unlikely -- but it would be a fitting contribution to the Clinton legacy of monumental selfishness.”
