Blaming Nader

The often fatuous Russ Smith, editor-in-chief of the NY Press and Bush fan, makes a good point in this election update at the NYP web site:

"MSNBC’s Paul Begala, who worked with the Gore campaign, was particularly obnoxious early Wednesday morning when it was announced that Bush had carried Florida and therefore won the presidency. He immediately blamed Ralph Nader – obviously, he wasn’t alone in making this despicable charge – for ruining his candidate’s chance for victory. Funny, when Ross Perot won 19 percent of the vote in 1992, probably causing the defeat of President Bush, I don’t remember similar whining from the Republican side.

"The gall of men and women like Begala, casting Nader as a villain because he chose to run for president, an opportunity most Americans over the age of 35 have the constitutional right to exercise, boggles the mind."
