Webb Trainwrecks His Appearance on Meet The Press

He's not a train wreck, but he looked like one next to RNC chair Michael Steele. Granted, Steele looked very well rehearsed and ready for hard questions, and for turning a tough question into an answer about something else. He hit it out of the park, though I still don't agree with any of his policy choices. But DNC Chair (and VA Governor) Tim Kaine? Ugh.

From Crooks and Liars:

And curses to any and all of the Democratic Party insiders who thought that the best way for Tim Kaine to serve his party was as the Chairman of the DNC. What a pathetically milquetoast weasel. Here we sit, with perfect potential for moral high ground, the likes of which hasn't been seen since WWII, and what we get is this weak tea, sitting-on-his-hands shadow of a Democrat simpering that isn't a good thing we all agree that we don't do torture? Dagnabit, Democrats. How hard is it to even getting half-way decent talking head? Way to represent, Kaine.

For me, the worst was when Steele said he and Kaine agreed on many issues, and made it a point to note Kaine is pro-life. There were too many points to refute each individually, but Kaine seemed caught in a Steele's trap -- his only response could've been that the Democrats are the inclusive party, but after Steele had already made that his mantra in the debate about the Republican Party, had Kaine said it, would've sounded more like "me too."
