Politics can be a dirty game. There are some shots that I wish weren’t taken. Sometimes, though, an attack can be brutal, personal, distasteful, and still be within the bounds of acceptable discourse.
Criticizing your opponent for where he chose to treat his 5-year old daughter’s malignant brain tumor is not one of them.
The offender is Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA), facing a tough re-election fight against retired Admiral Joe Sestak. As of today, Weldon has not apologized.
This might be the single slimiest attack I’ve seen since Karl Rove accused an Alabama State Supreme Court Justice of being a pedophile. It makes the Swift Boat assault look positively genteel.
Shame.
