Today?
First, black Dem leaders are defending the people who threw oreo cookies at Michael S. Steele, a black Republican who is running for senate. In a statement (quoted in the Washtington Times) that could only have been written by a KKK member, Kweisi Mfume said:
There is a difference between pointing out the obvious and calling someone names
In that case Mr. Mfume, you are one self-absorbed racist asshole.
Secondly, former president Carter comes out of his hobbit hole to attack Bush, in this AP article:
The Bush Administration's prewar claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction were "manipulated, at least" to mislead the American people, former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday.
I'd love to ask Carter why Clinton also attacked Iraq, and supported the attacks on Iraq. At least initially, and then of course Clinton had to say that it was wrong because it was the Democratic plot line.
Anyway, its nice to see Carter shedding his nice-guy image and coming out as an even bigger partisan jerk then the rest of his party.
Its difficult though to see the Dem party jumping the shark in masse. What is going to be their 2008 election theme? "We're sane, again"? Its going to be really hard for them to step back from that cliff.
