Krauthammer's a hypocrite though, apparently

The esteemed Mr. Ghost posted the other day about a Charles Krauthammer article that called out Obama for using the Virginia Tech tragedy to make political points. Glenn Greenwald did the heavy lifting, though, and in this post he eviscerates Krauthammer for using the very same tragedy to make a much stainier political point, before Obama got around to it. Here's a quote:

KRAUTHAMMER: What you can say, just -- not as a psychiatrist, but as somebody who's lived through the a past seven or eight years, is that if you look at that picture, it draws its inspiration from the manifestos, the iconic photographs of the Islamic suicide bombers over the last half decade in Palestine, in Iraq and elsewhere.

Of course, this isn't to say that it makes Obama's sleazy speech any better, but hypocrisy this blatant is even less acceptable, especially by those whose whole job is telling us what they think we need to know about politics in this country.
