Terry McAuliffe: what an embarassment!
This is unbelievable: My friend Tim Carney, who works for Bob Novak in Washington, has found himself in a high-profile dust-up. It all started when Tim published this piece on NRO, where he likened Sen. Orrin Hatch (R) to Neville Chamberlain because of his eagerness to appease Democrats on the fight over the Bush judicial nominees. That article somehow earned the ire of DNC potentate Terry McAuliffe, who fired off this pathetic press release demanding that RNC bigwig Ed Gillespie repudiate Carney's remarks. McAullife writes:
National Review writer Timothy Carney in a column on Friday, compared Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to Nazis and Senator Orrin Hatch to Neville Chamberlain.
Except, uh, Tim never called anyone a Nazi. I've looked through the piece a couple of times, and it just isn't there. (McAuliffe was obviously trying way too hard to one-up Gillespie after the number Gillespie did on the Dems for the recent MoveOn.org ads comparing Bush to Hitler. Nice try, Mr. McAuliffe, but it just doens't work.)
So, anyway, Tim is just lapping this up. Today he has a half-serious reply to McAuliffe up, which you can check out here.
