An Entry from the Archives

Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican Party, wrote to me today. The subject heading is "Their real agenda." Here's how it opens:

This week, liberal Democrat Russ Feingold called on the Senate to censure the President for a program that is successfully stopping terrorists. After months of searching, Democrat leaders are finally beginning to find their agenda: take away the tools America needs to fight terror. In the last 24 hours, fringe groups like MoveOn.org and Democrat leaders from John Kerry to Harry Reid to Dick Durbin have rallied to Feingold's side, praising his grandstanding as a "catalyst" for the investigation of the President.

Weakening our national security is their agenda. Is it yours?

The Democrats' real agenda is to weaken national security? I've heard Mehlman speak a few times and I think he's a smart and personable guy with a sense of humor about himself. But this strikes me as a particularly low attack.
