Instead of fighting over credit, let’s just be happy and move forward
But today we’re talking about Rahm. The guy is an asshole, to be sure. But he’s our asshole. And it’s about time we had one.
He’s not running DCCC next cycle so let’s start the complaining about the next guy. Get a head start on it before it becomes fashionable.
I loved this too:
“You’ve got to have a thirst for winning,” he said. “You know what our party thinks? `We’re good people with good ideas. That’s just enough, isn’t it?’ Being tough enough, mean enough and vicious enough is just not what they want. . . . They just want to be patted on the back for the noble effort. No.”
Carville says Dems could have one much bigger without Dean.
The interesting argument though is the election notched both parties to the right. Adding blue dog dems and knocking off the last of the Liberal R’s.
Really, have some numbers to demonstrate that Baar–or is it more fiction?
Bill,
You’ve been on a tear blindly quoting people that you think makes your partisan spin sound good… No offense, but try thinking on your own every now and then rather than regurgitating weak snippets you hear from Hillary-booster Jim Carville and anti-feminist feminist Camille Paglia.
And the blueest of the blue dog Dems are still much more rational than anything the cons have been throwing up these past few years. Even “conservative” Jim Webb is talking about America’s need to fight a class war because the little guy is getting trampled by the conservative wealthy elite (ie, “Bush’s base”).
Liberals see right through Carville’s agenda (he just wants to take Dean down a notch). Why can’t you? Not even Rahm Emanuel thought the Dems could get 50 — he wanted to concentrate on his favorite 20 (a few of whom lost, see “Duckworth, Tammy; Major, US Army National Guard”.) And if Carville was so convinced of his Monday morning quarterbacking, why didn’t he bring it up months ago instead of stabbing Dean in the back after the fact?
Bill, quite frankly you’re getting lame without an election to harp on and on about. And that’s too bad.
