My rant is below the fold.
From today's WSJ:

Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Britain’s Conservative opposition party, facing a general election battle with Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s Labour Party in the next three months, have hired the team that advised President Barack Obama in his televised debates with rival John McCain, the Wall Street Journal said ...
Conservative leader David Cameron is due to face Brown in the first-ever television debates between leaders ahead of a general election, and Washington-based Squier, Knapp Dunn Communications have been hired to advise on the debate as well as offer broader advice to Cameron on other issues, the newspaper said.
Senior partner Anita Dunn served as Obama’s communications director until last November, and Bill Knapp is a close adviser to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg ...
Whatever spin the Presiden't strident apologists try to give this story, let me state a few things for the record: there is NO progressive case whatsoever for supporting the Tories over Labour in Britain. NONE.
Some of you deny Obama's closest advisers sold healthcare reform down the river in exchange for millions of dollars in fees. Some of you deny Obama has placed Goldman Sachs' lackeys in positions of regulatory authority over Wall Street. Some of you deny Obama broke a campaign promise by appointing the defense industry's leading lobbyist, James Jones, to be National Security Advisor.
Will you defend Anita Dunn selling herself to the Tories in the campaign against Labour?
