MICKEY KAUS CORRECTS THE NOTE:

In essence, the Note tells Dems, in classic, media-consultant fashion, that instead of basing their pitch on the reality of the case (the leak) they should base it on BS (that somehow the prosecution is refighting the Iraq war). Shouldn’t it be a general premise of Democratic politics that it’s reality-based and not spin-based? . . .

I know, ABC’s Halperin & Co. might say they are only parodying hack Democratic media advice. But even if they are, the parody (like all good fiction) reveals a depressing truth about modern Dem politics. Also, they’re not. They clearly buy into it.

Yes.
