Eleanor Clift is a B-List reliably left Democrat who must now step into the breach and defend what even the Democrats admit is indefensible----a total withdrawal of US troops with a six-month timetable.
Clift admits that Murtha's game plan, if advocated by the Democratic Party, would almost certainly diminish their chances for gains in the 2006 Mid-Term elections, which they need desperately in order to stanch their hemorrhaging of seats in the House and Senate since 1994.
How then to square this circle and dodge accepting the Murtha Plan, which may sink their chances next year?
It looks like the NYT is now scaling back the "total withdrawal in six months" part of Murtha's poorly-designed draft and it looks like the Democrats will be in high dudgeon about the stain on Murtha's reputation that the imputation of "cowardly Marine" imparts.
So the MSM and their DNC editorial advisors must quickly circle their wagons and declare victory.
Dear oh dear, the ink wasn't even dry on Woodward and this had to come up. They were just getting ready for the auto da fe of ol' Bob and now their attention is divided!
Hard to keep straight all the misinformation the MSM puts out. They can't retract the six-month deadline, so they'll have to get their adjuncts over at HufferyPuffery to put their shoulder to the wheel.
With all the dust in the air, maybe it won't be noticed that Murtha has no clothes!
