The Et Cetera Post

McCain has been getting a lot of credit for the so-called “surge” but Mitt Romney has taken the back-slapping to the next level. Apparently McCain “authored the philosophy” of the surge. I’m not really sure what exactly that means but the implication is that McCain invented it. This kind of reminds me of Al Gore’s infamous claim to have invented the internet. At least in the case of the internet, it works. The surge, on the other hand, was a less successful venture.
