The grownups in the Democratic party – oh, yes, there’s one or two – are starting to get tired of having to deal with a White House that always messes up, and never learns.
Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, hit the Obama administration on Wednesday over an official calling the Israeli prime minister a “chickensh[*]t.”
“I was shocked and disappointed on reading the comments in The Atlantic,” Engel said in a statement. “I call upon the Administration to reassert the importance of the relationship between the United States and Israel, and to reaffirm that the bonds between our two countries are unbreakable.”
…but I would remind said grownups that this is their fault. They were the ones who decided to hand the nomination in 2008 to an untested parvenu who had been recklessly promoted past his competence, and who had gathered up a scurrilous band of radicals, knaves, and poltroons for his advisors. Rep. Engel, for his part, can piously claim that he supported Hillary Clinton in 2008; and isn’t he grateful for that! But he still gets to take collective responsibility for the Frankenstein’s Monster that the Democrats have inflicted on the country, and incidentally their own party.
