AT LEAST PRETEND THE UR IS MORE THAN A HACK:

Democratic strategist criticizes 'foreign money' campaign theme (Tom Hamburger, 10/12/10, Chicago Tribune)

Democratic strategist Joe Trippi was critical Wednesday of making "foreign money" a major campaign theme for the White House. During a brief telephone interview, he said he would not have involved the president in making a charge that does not appear to have much evidence to support it.

"My reaction? Get on to talking about the issues. This is not going to do much. From what I see, there isn't a violation of the law."

Trippi said that it was not right to have the president personally involved in attacking the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for receiving foreign money. "It would be better to have a hack consultant like me complain" than having the president do so, he said.

The President seems to like golf. Let him hit the links and stop letting him speak.
