Isabelgate

Once again, our friends on the right are having a hard time distinguishing forests from trees.

The Egyptian military’s ouster of President Morsi and the future of Egypt in particular and political Islam in general are not this week’s Big Story for them — no, it’s all about John Kerry’s spending part of July 4 on his yacht, the Isabel, in Nantucket.

I know, the visuals of his being on a 76′ yacht in that elitist bastion are hard to resist because you get a twofer — he’s out of touch both with the events in Egypt and the lives of normal people, but Isabelgate is another stupid “gotcha” diversion that makes the GOP look silly rather than statesmanlike.
