Buried in the middle of an article on Obama's 300 foreign policy advisers is this little gem:
The group no longer includes Samantha Power, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard human rights expert who resigned in March after she was quoted calling Mrs. Clinton a “monster.” But Mr. Lake still talks to Ms. Power, and Mr. Obama sent a long personal tribute that was read at her wedding in Ireland this month.
Leaving aside the fact that Power's "firing" was obviously phony, the NY Times forgets to mention the groom. Guess who the groom is?
Cass Sunstein and Samanth Power Marry on July Fourth
That's Cass Sunstein, a noted law professor whose yen for an SC nomination can be ascertained by the deep Koolaid drench in all his recent columns (e.g., The Visionary Minimalist and The Obama I Know).
If Obama actually had dumped Powers completely, wouldn't it have pissed off Sunstein? The U of C law professor's constant whor selling of Obama as the non-partisan prince was a significant "get" in the early days of his candidacy.
While Powers' mention wasn't a major point of the article, it does seem bizarre that the Times didn't add "to key Obama supporter Cass Sunstein" after the word "wedding".
