Celia Cohen is not my favorite person. Her website, Delawaregrapevine, is to Castle, Carper and Biden what Pravda was to the Soviet Union.
So someone check me on this:
In fact, there has been some back-room chatter about drafting Ferris W. Wharton, the ex-prosecutor who gave Democrat Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III a scare last year on his way to attorney general.
Wharton would have to explain away one particularly inconvenient statement — “I don’t want to be anything but attorney general” — but this is politics, after all, where campaign promises tend to disappear like so many Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Is the insidery wink about Weapons of Mass Destruction obnoxious? Cohen regards politics as something that should be left to professionals. But are Delaware’s pundit elite so divorced from day to day life that they lump in the Iraq War in as a part of their parlor game?
We have had over 3,000 American and untold Iraqis die as a result of Mr. Bush’s lies. Shouldn’t we avoid making fun of the fact that the WMD’s story was bullshit?
