ABC's Note Takes Manhattan, Hilariously
Our slutty sisters in Washington love to pick on The Note — ABC's way-inside-the-Beltway daily political tip sheet — but it's not typically on our beat. But this morning, and for the first time ever, we received a press release from an ABC flack alerting us to some highlights in today's Note. For example:
2. The elapsed time for pregnant pause between the question being asked and the non-responsive response being given is exactly the same for when one asks Joe Biden about John Kerry on Iraq and one asks Congressman Rahm about Chairman Dean on, uhm, anything.
Hey, if you had material like that, you'd want to spread it around, too.
The complete (and fairly odd) press release is after the jump.

The Note: Condemned to Repeat
A Land Bright and Clear, and the Time's Comin' Near

The Note only looks backward in order to learn for the purposes of looking forward. Thus, what we collectively learned this week that has stark applicability to 2006 and 2008:
1. The Democrats' Iraq policy is NOT "cut and run" (Reed and Kerry), NOT "irresponsible" or "unpatriotic" (Reid), and NOT based on "political considerations," (Feingold).
2. The elapsed time for pregnant pause between the question being asked and the non-responsive response being given is exactly the same for when one asks Joe Biden about John Kerry on Iraq and one asks Congressman Rahm about Chairman Dean on, uhm, anything.
