Mehlman and Obama

A fascinating post-Bush duo, wouldn't you say? Money quote:

Mr. Mehlman has a longstanding relationship with his Harvard Law classmate Sen. Barack Obama (D., Ill.). Having left the Republicans' employ, he embraces a change in what many see as Washington's Bush-era culture of ferocity.

"How do we get back to the time when you argued during the day and had a beer after work?" Mr. Mehlman says. "That's something I look forward to - particularly if someone else is paying."

Ha, ha, ha. I love these Beltway jokes. But you had something to do with that "culture of ferocity," didn't you, Ken? Or are we now required to forget everything you did to keep the Rove machine in power?
