Don't you hate when that happens...

By Libby

Following up on Cernig's post, this is amusing. The White House accidentally promoted the story when an staffer who intended to send it to an internal list under the heading "Iraqi PM backs Obama troop exit plan - magazine" apparently pushed the wrong button and sent it to their media list instead. Ouch. Haven't we all done that at least once?

Not that there's any great harm done. One imagines the media would have picked this one up without the help, but I suppose that the last thing the administration wanted to do was draw more attention to the fact that they are suddenly adopting all of Obama's policy positions as their own.

I can't believe there are any Dems on the inside of that operation myself, much less Obama insiders. Sometimes you just hit the wrong button.

"Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. The requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there."
