The things people will do for love. Take David Shuster. Please. So eager is the Obama inamorato to cover for his man, he's willing to sacrifice all semblance of reason. Faced with the implacable fact that Obama was wrong in opposing the surge, Shuster has been reduced to claiming that Americans don't care about the surge's success. Shuster made his descent into abject sycophancy on today's Morning Joe. The jumping off point was a clip from an interview of Obama by ABC's Terry Moran [Brent Baker has the full report on the interview here].
TERRY MORAN: If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?
OBAMA: No, because, keep in mind that-
MORAN: You wouldn't?
OBAMA: Well, no, keep in mind, these kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult. You know, hindsight is 20/20. But I think that, what I am absolutely convinced of is that at that time, we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with.
After a clip was aired of McCain hammering Obama on his opposition to the surge, Shuster went into full flippers-and-goggles mode.

America doesn’t care what David Shuster thinks. It’s called ‘ratings’ - look at them.
No! It's not Americans do not care. It's Democrats do not care. Don't lump me into your BS Mr. Shuster!
among democrat tv-viewers that i know
their rejection of the iraq war was formed long ago.
you can’t reason with them.
But I understand where Shuster is coming from. Shuster is an American In Name Only (AINO). Same as Obama.
Nothing. And the press loved it.
He said that regardless of the fact the American troops were giving their lives to fight tyranny, he wasn't going to support them because President Bush is a big meany.
