Roy Exum: Dr. Dobson’s Dumb Mistake
About the only thing worse than painting yourself in a corner is doing it when the floor doesn’t need painting in the first place.
So I was doubly disappointed a couple of days ago when Dr. James Dobson, a one-time child psychologist who has become a leading Christian activist, absolutely skewered presidential candidate Fred Thompson in what was to me a dazzling display of dumb.
It was and remains a dumb mistake by a man that I agree with on about 98% of other issues.
Hey, if Thompson comes out on top in the primary, it will be because he starts demonstrating passion and zeal. Dobson won’t have a problem, because it will be obvious that Thompsone heeded his advice and got serious.
