One of those mocking, derisive but ultimately silly attacks made by both Giuliani and Palin yesterday had to do with mocking Obama’s time as a community organizers. I’ve read many different posts today defending the work community organizers do but Obama, as you might expect, puts the right perspective on the issue. Steve Benen has more background.
(he slightly misspeaks at the start — it was 20 years ago, not 3).

Good summary of the situation in Pakistan.
With the state of work being the way it is (busy, busy, busy) and the holidays being what they are (busy, busy, busy), this is the only comment I’ll make on the items covered in the linked post: This is a big deal, bigger than many Americans will realize. When you look at how the world perceives us as a nation, understand the background here. We brought her back into Pakistan. We pinned hopes of a renewed, democratic Pakistan on her party. People over there are at least vaguely aware of this, and undoubtedly more aware of this than we are over here.
Watch this stuff closely. History may look back at this as an important moment.
This is not good…
