ANOTHER FALSE EQUIVALENCE

Andie Coller of Politico has a nice piece that explores whether or not the GOP is composed mostly of cranks but he hits one false note:

Nor are Democrats strangers to having their crazy uncles take center stage. During the run-up to the Iraq war, for example, Reps. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) and David Bonior (D-Mich.) famously flew to Baghdad, where McDermott asserted that he believed the president would “mislead the American public” to justify the war.

McDermott and the others were correct, not cranky.
