The see-no-evil monkeys over at RedState have come up with a brand new defense for poor Ben: Jim Brady set him up!
Blame the Washington Post for Ben's Youthful Indescretion
This was inevitable of course. These wingnuts will turn on the Washington Post and go ballistic when Ben is forced to resign. It was all the media's fault. They setup poor Ben and made him lie and steal.
Iraq? Blame the MSM.
Katrina? Blame the MSM.
Polls? Blame the MSM.
DeLay? Blame the MSM.
Abramoff? Blame the MSM.
Facts and Reality? Blame the MSM.
So, how can we be surprised..
Domenech? Blame the MSM.
During the previous debacle with Howell, Jim Brady wrote a long screed blaming the nasty lefty blogosphere for Howell's incompetence and for being so uncivilized as to call him an idiot. So I wrote Jim Brady a little note:
To: jimbradyva@aol.com
Subject: You are not an idiot.
You are just a wanker.
Jim actually responded whining that he was apparently a two time wanker according to Atrios, but he hadn't yet received his plaque.
And now here we have it. Ben is going to be forced to resign and all those screeching wingnuts that Jim was trying to cuddle up to are going to call for Jim's head on a plate and slamming the WaPo for "setting up" poor little Ben.
Karma, Jim. Karma.
