Gotcha! Err, maybe not... [Mark Hemingway]
So remember when David Shuster excoriated Rep. Marsha Blackburn on MSNBC
for not knowing the name of the most recent soldier from her district to
have died in Iraq? It went something like this:
DAVID SHUSTER: Let's talk about the public trust. You represent of
course a district in western Tennessee. What was the name of the last
soldier from your district who was killed in Iraq?
MARSHA BLACKBURN: The name of the last soldier killed in Iraq from
my district? I do not know.
DAVID SHUSTER: OK, his name was Jeremy Bohannon. He was killed
August the ninth, 2007. How come you didn't know the name?
Well, it turns out that Pvt. Jeremy Bohannon isn't from Blackburn's
district. Much more over at the media blog.

And of course, the Wing Nut Brigade and their loyal lackey Fred Stone are
wrong. But that's what happens a lot when you try to manufacture outrage:

That damn liberal media. Forcing reporters to apologize for being right.

So the gotcha did backfire. Lots of self-inflicted wounds here, but
somehow Fred will assert that the representative, who screwed up twice
(or is it three times) is pure and good and the blog, which screwed
up, is pure and good, but MSNBC is a liberal rag that gets everything
wrong.

Backfire? The representative did not know the name and did not know
that the name given was the wrong one. The Republican failed to
support the troops *twice*.

Shuster didn't know either. So how is *he* supporting the troops again?
Other than using one of them for a "gotcha moment". Which is not
"support".

He was doing an interview. I was not aware that we have gotten to the
world were all actions, all the time, were devoted to "supporting the
troops". The *representative* screwed up twice, did not know the name
of last soldier in her district that was killed and then did not know
when the wrong name was presented. Putting one foot on top of the
other before you shoot yourself does not support the troops and does
not "gotcha" the reporter.
BTW, do you, right now, know the names of any of the soldiers from
your area killed in Iraq? Have you done anything specific for their
families? How about for those wounded and maimed?
