Battle of the Dim Bulb Surrogates

I know people have been all over Texas senator Kirk Watson’s appearance on Hardball, and his inability to say name a single legislative accomplishment of Barack Obama. But really, could it be any worse than Clinton surrogate Lanny Davis?

(Unofficial) Clinton flack Lanny Davis just explained on Fox News that Barack Obama is like Ned Lamont (who, whatever you think of him, won that Democratic Senate primary), and Hillary Clinton is like Joe Lieberman (who, whatever you think of him, refused to abide by the primary result, ran and won as an independent with massive GOP support, and has subsequently endorsed John McCain). Lest anyone miss his meaning, Davis noted that he had been a devout Lieberman booster.

Will Clinton run as a Republican-friendly independent if she fails to get the nomination? Of course not. But that’s the scenario Davis has gone out of his way to sketch metaphorically. That’s the way to help Clinton get the Democratic nomination.

Watson was just not properly prepared. Lanny’s obviously hit a speed bump in the space-time continuum.

I mean, did anybody but Joe Lieberman think this would be helpful?
