Jonathan Alter writing in Newsweek:
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,” Rahm Emanuel famously said in 2008. The same goes for a shooting spree that gravely wounds a beloved congresswoman.
This is noted just in case anyone thought Politico’s advice that Obama should use the tragedy to his advantage was just an isolated case. Nope, on the left such outrageous cynicism is pretty well standard.
