No, and that's even more reason to scrutinize them. I suppose you think it was perfectly fine for Hillary Clinton to head up her husband's health care task force as an unelected, unaccountable, yet very powerful person, and that she should not be questioned on it. And as long as you think anyone in a campaign who isn't running for an elected or appointed position should be beyond criticism, I guess you have no problem with lobbyists for foreign governments running these campaigns too, right? Please, don't ever tell us you have a problem with Mark Penn lobbying for the Colombian government on the opposite side of the position of the campaign he ran. Ditto for Charlie Black or Tom Loeffler for McCain. I guess the elected officials are the only ones who ever matter. No one ever should have criticized Karl Rove or James Carville either, right? Oh, if they're family then it's taboo.
