Quote, poor judgment

Alter makes an excellent point about this; in light of the capitalist goat fuck (Jesus, when Pat Buchanan calls you a "Capitalist Pig" ...jeeeeeezzzzzzuuuuussss!), why the hell isn't anyone asking the hard questions about the Keating Five, McSame's "asterisk", as he would like you to believe;

"I was judged eventually, after three years, of using, quote, poor judgment, and I agree with that assessment."

[For the uninitiated, the Keating Five are not anything remotely like the Jackson Five, though they could be thought of as the exact opposite of the MC5, if that helps...]

[Update: The Keating Five in Ramones time]

Poor judgment.

Like his VP pick? Or his automatonic support of an illegal and immoral war?

Maybe it was when he embraced the man that slandered him in 2000, and the scorched earth politics he represents, in his own power grab.

Saying that he displayed poor judgment would imply there was ever an instance of him displaying "good judgment", and frankly, aside from deciding to serve his country as a Navy Pilot, I see very little evidence of "good judgment".

And while we are on the topic of "judgment", is this guy you want running an economy in near meltdown, because he aided and abetted a smaller version of this years ago? Does practice make perfect?

If by "reform" he means "remake" through his "considered" judgment, I have to believe that Americans are smarter than that.
