Now All I Have to Do is Find My Coffee Cup That Says, "Proud Member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy."
The Washington Times ran a story today about Sen. Durbin (the No.2 Senate Dem) blaming the "right wing" for Howard Dean's comments. He says "The right wing has got the agenda moving. Fox [News Channel] and everybody's got the agenda. It's all about Howard Dean. You've bought into it," Mr. Durbin said. You can't let up on it. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves." With all do respect, Senator, why should the right and the media be ashamed for quoting Dean verbatim? Not one of his comments has been taken out of context.
The No.1 Senate Dem is delusional too! "As all of you know, there isn't a single person, whether it's any of us in this room or Governor Dean or [Republican National Committee chairman Ken] Mehlman, that haven't misspoken," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, said at a photo opportunity with Mr. Dean in his Senate office before that meeting. " Senator Reid, I find it ironic that you say this when your party is so quick to jump on President Bush when he "misspeaks."
Instead of attacking the right and the media, maybe the Dems should spend their energy actually building some sort of a party that stands for something, anything. It would also behoove them to work with Chairman Dean on communication skills, something he has yet to grasp the importance of.

Your other post for today (I Want YOU to Be a Fundraiser!) is excellent and on-topic, so any other entries you feel like posting don't have to count for grades and can be off-topic, as this one is.
However, when you write something interesting that is off-topic, why not post it on a public blog? That way, you can get class credit for any work that does not happen to be on-topic for our class discussion.
