Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

It is about time that serious people started to dissect and dismiss the overheated bloviating coming from Josh Marshall. Marshall prides himself as an astute insider with a keen eye on international policy, when in reality he is nothing more than Paul Begala with a PhD, toeing the Democrat line on every issue and dissembling anything and evrtrything in as anti-Bush a tone as he believes he can cedibly get away with.

This is not the first time that Marshall has been called on his nonsense, he has been wrong about almost every aspect of the North Korean issue since day one.

The flap started with this article extolling Kerry’s firm realism in the field of foreign policy and this follow-up post.

What is the big deal? A.) He spins Kerry’s probable foreign policy appraoch, which judging by his rhetoric and votes would be neo-isolationist, with most foreign policy conducted according to the will of a majority vote of multinational organizations into what MArshall calls ‘realism.’ Go figure.

B.) He lies about the Bush record regarding thepromotion of Democracy.

I don;thave the energy to waste on him- but Robert Tagorda, Dan Drezner, David Adesnik, and The Belgravia Dispatch.

Make sure you read Drezner’s comments, and get an extra chuckle at the people touting Kerry’s realism while pissily stating that Bush has not done enough to promote Democracy in Pakistan. Internal consistency is not a strongpoint for Marshall or the Democrats in general.

    Democrats hate foreign policy. It distracts them from the goal of designing program that don’t work to buy votes from groups. It is however useful to distract those groups from domestic scandals.

    Josh never really did explain that explosion on the Nork “passenger” train that killed 3,000, which was later revealed to have involved Syrian missile technicians…
