Standard Issue Fare

Josh Marshall writes of Michael Steele's latest gaffe (claiming the war in Afghanistan is an un-winnable war of Obama's choosing):

This is actually pretty typical Steele. He finds a riff that has some rhetorical logic in the moment -- way to attack Obama, way to say this or that about GOP or Dems, whatever ... without taking a moment to give some thought to whether it actually coheres or fits together and makes any sense in the context of all the other stuff he says he believes.

This is actually pretty typical of Republicans, in particular self-identified conservatives.
