Victory Under Any Circumstances
It's stunning how willing people are to sacrifice intellectual consistency in the name of short-term spin. Case in point: Markos Moulitsas, gloating yesterday over what he sees as a victory in regards to the "nuclear option." Of course, back on May 17th, he was touting a poll that indicated exercising that option would backfire on the Republican leadership.
This is becoming standard operating procedure for the fringier elements on the left (and, to be fair, the same seems to have applied to the right when they were out of power). Drone on and on about how counterproductive it'll be if the majority party does something, yet simultaneously declare victory when that something is averted. So which is it?
