Yesterday’s Iran-NIE bombshell not only has deflated White House bluster on Iran, it has thrown political campaigns into disarray. Some Republicans in particular (but not exclusively) were planning on running a let’s be afraid of Iran campaign. Well, what else have they got to run on?
Josh Marshall and Dan Froomkin have more.
Some are calling it the best political ad ever (they probably never saw the “Daisy” ad). While I think it hits some high notes, it is weird to see my favorite cranky old man – Mike Gravel, hammering the words out – while surrounded by images and music inspired by the 1960s. (Is that how I look to the young people around me?). Enjoy.
