My colleague E Plurbus Unum sent around a link to an article from Susan Estrich today, and, to put it kindly, she was a bit bent out of shape.  Estrich apparently has her panties in a wad about the Van Jones affair.

Conservative loudmouths are crowing that they are driving Barack Obama’s popularity ratings below 50 percent. They are very proud of themselves. They shouldn’t be. Destroying what is best about our country is not something to brag to your children about. And the other shoe is dropping.

Getting rid of Van Jones, the co-founder of one of the groups now organizing the boycotts, is not going to slow the movement. Quite the contrary. It may strengthen the cause.

“Other shoe”?  What other shoe might that be, Susan?  The one that’s kicking your party’s butt? And “strengthen the cause?” Which one? The GOP?

Well, it’s still pretty early in the morning.  Plenty of time for your compatriots to address your heresy properly:

Mother Knows Best

The president is “not familiar” with the bill. No one can explain how it will work yet, as Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., told a contentious town meeting. There are various plans, and negotiations are still in the early stages.

But whatever it is, we should be for it.

PS: No, actually, this is precisely who you voted for, Susan Estrich.  While you were all the while mocking the people who were telling you differently.  So if you’re annoyed, first be annoyed at yourself for your incredulity, then at the administration for taking advantage of it - and then go back at being annoyed at yourself, rather than bring my side into the summer of your discontent.  Enabling you is no more on our agenda than it is on the President’s.
