I see the cable shows are wringing their collective hands about the return of some Clinton-era Democrats to actual policy-making jobs in the Obama Administration.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but when GWB brought John Negroponte and Elliot Abrams into his Administration I don’t recall any such kerfuffle, despite their dirty hands in Central and South America during the Reagan Administration. Their activities bordered on the criminal in their earlier careers (Abrams was actually convicted of several misdemeanors having to do with the Iran-Contra affair), while none of the people being discussed as possible members of Obama’s team have any blots.
Does the media have a set of double standards?
