Axelrod and Emanuel's Statements About AIG Qualify Them for Doofus Awards
It seems Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod are suffering from the typical inside Washington disease: getting too big for their britches.
Emanuel claimed that the AIG mess was a big distraction for Obama and Axelrod said that people weren't sitting around their kitchen tables thinking about AIG.
Obama had to pull Emanuel's chestnuts out of the fire on that one.
Rahm is a multimillionaire and former investment banker, one of the Wall Street types that caused this economic catastropheduring.
David Kurtz at TPM titles his comment "Tone Deaf" While that is certainly an apt description, I think that Emanuel and especially Axelrod were stupidly patronizing when it comes to the American people.
The readers' responses Kurtz includes in his commentary show that Axelrod doesn't know what the hell he's braying about.
Axelrod and Emanuel seem enthralled by their own obnoxious self-importance.
Emanuel and Axelrod would certainly be outstanding contestants for Jim Hightower's Gooberhead Award given to "those in the news who have their tongues going 100 miles an hour, but forgot to put their brains in gear."
