Vetting Vettors? The Garbage has Begun Early!

Silly season is upon us! Jim Johnson, a long-time Democratic V.P. "vetter" has resigned from the Obama campaign where he was serving as an unpaid adviser. Read about it here.

This is nonsense. First off, the Wall Street Journal article has neither meat nor force of fact behind its story. Second, even if the worst of these rumors were true (not terribly worrisome to begin with), who cares? He is a volunteer adviser, vetting the V.P. candidates, not serving in a government position himself. Really? He has to quit a volunteer position because of rumors of (slightly less than) nerfarious behavior?

This is stupid. This is garbage.
