[quote=Anonymous]So what's your take on the Rosen comment and its aftermath?  Here's mine:

I would not have given a second thought to what I took as a statement that it's really dumb for Mitt Romney to use his wife, who shares his quarter of a billion fortune and has never had to even contemplate being part of the work force, as an adviser on women's economic issues.  And even if I were to grant that there was something wrong with what this CNN commentator said, the most I can imagine doing is asking Democrats whether they agree.  They said no, but the Republicans, who slowly and reluctantly separated themselves from Rush Limbaugh's genuine attack on Sandra Fluke, act as though the whole Democratic Party is tainted by the unfortunately worded, but at worst insensitive, comment by a sometime Democratic strategist.

But worse than the Republican hypocrisy and the Democratic rush to condemn Rosen, which is par for the course in our spin-drenched political world, is the fact that so much of the press accepted the GOP spin and played this as a real scandal rather than an embarrassing example of distortion.[/quote]
