What world do you live in? Only in some ideological fantasyland could they have supported Rosen on this. She made a political gaffe of the highest magnitude and she's paying for it. Unlike Republicans, Democrats actually criticize and distance themselves from those who make gaffes.

In the real world of politics, this is a necessary evil. I know it's nice to believe in a certain ideology and I know that morally and ethically you're correct, but in the dirty world of politics—especially considering the ugly mood this country is in—they're playing the game the way it has to be played.

This isn't about cajones, it's about political survival in a world where EVERYTHING is blown out of proportion.

Oh, and Blitzer's a tool. Who gives a shit what he does?
