Power Down

UPDATES. Samantha Power quits Obama campaign over “Monster” remarks. Times of London: 

Barack Obama’s foreign policy adviser resigned today after describing Hillary Clinton as a “monster” who would do anything to win.

The departure of Samantha Power for insulting remarks made to The Scotsman newspaper during a visit to London reflects how the Democratic presidential race has been transformed in the past five days.

After weeks in which Mr Obama had shrugged off Mrs Clinton’s flailing attacks, he is now the candidate who appears most rattled with his campaign promising to go negative itself – and making mistakes.

Earlier this week Mr Obama fled a press conference asking him awkward questions about his relationship with former fundraiser, Tony Rezko.

David Axelrod, Mr Obama’s strategist, later responded by threatening to dredge up material about Mrs Clinton’s past – including the Whitewater scandal – but her campaign was swift to compare him to Ken Starr, the notorious investigator who hounded the White House in the 1990s.

Ms Power’s resignation today came after Mrs Clinton’s campaign had successfully capitalised on her remarks by contrasting it with Mr Obama’s high-moved rhetoric.

The woman’s guilty of high political incorrectitude and meanspiritedness. Never mind that she was right. Couldn’t have happened to a bigger dingbat. Question is, are they going to run her out of Harvard now?  Not for being a dingbat.  They’d have to empty the place. For the PC violation.

TPM suffers the Agony of the Idiocy.

Andrew Sullivan: Yea, verily He is among us. She who lives by the smirk will die by the smirk. I dunno where he got that pic by the way, but the Jesus lighting is truly astonishing.

Maybe he is Jesus. Now that I’ve seen the lighting, I’m starting to come around.

In other photo business Kevin Drum parses skin tone. Doesn’t matter. Everyone knows Jesus was a black man, with dreadlocks. There were a lot of black guys with dreadlocks in 1st century Nazareth, and Jesus was one of them.

Just One Minute: parsing Power’s withdrawal positions.

Malkin: “You just look at her and think ‘Ergh!’”

NY Observer: Brzezinski says she didn’t need to resign, while  Power tells Irish radio she thinks her remarks to a Scottish newspaper will subject her to 18th century French execution device. 

LA Times Powers up with background, details and the delightful tidbit that she confided in friends she wanted to be secretary of state. Apparently needs to go back to school to hone the diplomatic skills first.  Oh yeah, also the other delightful tidbit that she would have fit right in with the Kennedys … no sure what kind of dig that is … and played basketball with the great foreign policy thinker George Clooney.

   Sure she was a loose cannon, and sure she is an anti-Semite, but she did have certain attributes that are rarely found in among foreign policy wonks:

   While I think the “monster” comment is correct, as was the “fairy tale” comment, I cannot help but think she was fired for allowing her gross stupidity in foreign policy to show in public before the election, thereby drawing attention to the fact that Obama has someone grossly stupid AND inexperienced in foreign policy giving him foreign policy advice. Or something like that.

   [...] some words that must not be spoken. Power called Clinton a “monster,” and within two days was bounced from the campaign. It didn’t seem like that big a deal. An offhand remark that both the speaker and the campaign [...]
