The new, new Nixon?

I think Bob Kerrey's record as a self-admitted war criminal would makes him an excellent candidate for Secretary of Defense in a Hillary Clinton cabinet.  After all, he should get some reward for his generous praise for Barack Obama.

As one of the commenters at Yglesias's site noted, it's nice to see that a women's touch in the campaign means the reemergence of the wonderful Nixonian concept of "ratfucking."   

The Clinton people are making a huge mistake with this tactic.  It's quickly heading into unforgivable territory and she's going to find herself on the wrong side of the electorate in the first three primaries.  And then, she's history (and not in the sense she'd like to be).

It's classic Clinton. Get used to it.
