Stunning stupidity from alarmist Marc Gunther: Comparing the Chamber of Commerce to Letterman

So now America’s biggest business lobby and late-night comic David Letterman have something in common: They have really, really embarrassed themselves.

Of course, there are significant differences between Letterman’s womanizing and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s backward-looking opposition to climate-change legislation, which is causing the chamber to lose members, prestige and, worst of all, clout.

For one thing, the chamber’s blunder was entirely unnecessary [so Letterman’s womanizing was necessary?].

For another, the chamber has yet to apologize.
...
This is a little nutty, and it’s hard to know why the chamber would venture so far outside of the mainstream. Maybe ideological blinders?

Hey Marc Gunther, try this "mainstream" on for size.
