Credit Where Credit Is Due

Mike Huckabee, explaining to the outraged conservative idiots that African-Americans have legitimate reasons to be angry at how this country has treated them.

Good for you, Mike.

More from Ezra:

Decency is an underrated virtue in American politics. Not just ethically, but politically, too. If Hillary Clinton had walked in front of the press and forcefully denounced their constant coverage of Wright, noting that all of them had heard Obama lay out his political opinions in exquisite detail for a year now, and they knew better, how much stronger a political position she'd be in right now. The good cop doesn't only play good cop because he's a nice guy. It also helps elicit a confession.

Hillary, good cop? Not a chance, even when it would benefit her politically. That's called being short-sighted.

Ethically? I'll let you decide whether that would be a consideration of Hillary's, considering some of the crap spewed from her allies and surrogates during this campaign.
