Charlie Sheen Was Having a Manic Episode When He Claimed to be "Winning." What's the Democrats' Excuse?

John Podhoretz writes:
And so a roundelay that began with the president announcing his decision to launch a military strike at a time of his choosing to punish Assad for having used chemical weapons suddenly turned into the president and his desperate acolytes thinking they could take a victory lap! 
“Thanks to Pres. Obama’s strength,” tweeted House Democratic honcho Nancy Pelosi, “we have a Russian proposal.” The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein tweeted, “Kind of amazed I’m saying this, but the White House may really be about to win on Syria.” 
Ah, yes, winning. Which is to say, being humiliated, acting weak, behaving in vacillatory fashion, making a mockery of your office, destroying your country’s credibility, making your own words look desperately foolish, and ceding foreign policy to the Machiavellian machinations of a gangster regime in Moscow. 
That’s what you call “winning” when what you mean by “winning” is “losing.”
Joke du jour: What do you call Putin, Assad and Obama? 

Give up?

Two and a half men.
