Video from the Democratic National Committee.

Politics is often about having…finesse…style…flair..the ability to make it sound like the sun is shining when it’s raining or that it’s raining when the sun is shining. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has proven he has none of these abilities in his ham-handed use of talking points provided to GOPers by pollster Frank Luntz on how to stop financial reform (points provided before there was even a bill).

The best way to see how poorly McConnell did it — even people who plargiarize in colleges try to find creative ways about it so they are left with some semblance of deniability — is to at some of these videos below.McConnell’s credibility problem is apparently increased by the fact that he met Wall Street bigwigs about stopping the bill because the Wall Street bigwigs don’t want to preclude future bailouts and McConnell is arguing that the bill will provide endless bialouts…which is not what it will do. But here are videos so you can decide for yourself if McConnell was using Luntz’s list more than CNN’s Rick Sanchez uses Rick’s list — or if it is just some coincidence of great minds people thinking alike.
