Video: Dems’ silence on MoveOn ad is an “outrage,” says Koch

The last post on this subject today, hopefully. Savor the irony of another former mayor of New York with no love lost for Rudy helping to make this a political disaster for Giuliani’s likely opponent if he wins the nomination. Koch is, or was, to the right of even Joe Lieberman when it comes to the war, so this isn’t exactly out of, er, left field — and it isn’t exactly selfless in its motivations, either. Pay attention to what he says about MoveOn and his obvious contempt for the organization; he, Liebs, KP and other centrist Democrats sense an opening here to pull the leadership towards the right by making their association with MoveOn uncomfortable. It won’t work in isolation but as more of these incidents pile up and are noted, Pelosi and Reid will get nervous.

Here’s Koch’s op-ed about this from yesterday’s New York Post. And here’s the Red State parody that you’ve already seen because everyone else has already linked it. Exit question: How come Silky always needs his wife to say the “tough” things he should be saying?
