The Note praises Democrats!

Things have gotten so bad even The Note sees the writing on the wall.

When the Democratic Party or one of its leaders makes a mistake, Republicans and conservatives from the White House to the Republican National Committee to the members of Congress to talk radio to the interest groups to the bloggers jump all over it, with speed and consistent talking points.

It is testament to the Democrats' certainty that this Bush/leak story is a winner for them as well as to their improved communication coordination that they are driving that same kind of Republican-style effort right now.

And in the media (the network news shows, on cable, the morning shows, and the newspapers), the White House appears well cemented in a very bad news cycle.

Don't worry, I'm sure by next week we'll be more comfortably back to the "Democrats in Disarray."
