UPDATED: It’s Not Personal. It’s Only [Dumb] Politics. April 24, 2009

Yes, The Godfather is one of my favorite films ever, in case you hadn’t noticed.  But I’m serious here.  As I noted back in February, I believe the White House’s prime directive is “Politics above everything.  Nothing above politics.”

That is the tone the administration set from the start; and this week we’re seeing its blind adherence to partisanship (at its dumbest) confirmed for a fact: the WaPo has revealed that the CIA “torture” memos were released – in large part – for political reasons.

And so it’s come to pass that this White House has endangered both national security and CIA morale in the blink of an eye, just to score political points against Dick Cheney, but for little to none political payoff.

Talk about counterproductive.  Do they know what they’re doing? I guess there’s more than one Fredo in the administration

UPDATE: Via American Power: Voters unimpressed by Dems “torture” theme.
