The Party Of Nothing

Even the New York Times has come around to the realization that the Democratic Party stands for absolutely nothing, and has chosen it national leadears and spokespeople very poorly.

Given the chance to explain what the party stood for, stood silent: One of the party's most prominent members, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, has been relatively absent for much of this debate, a characteristic display of public caution that her aides say reflects her concern for keeping focused on her re-election bid. Mrs. Clinton, who has only nominal opposition, declined requests for an interview to discuss her views of the party.

John Kerry, who's too stupid to appreciate what he is actually saying about himself complained that, the party's authority had been diluted because of the absence of one or two obvious leaders.

Actually, the Democrats' problem are just the opposite. The party does have leaders. Those leaders are named Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Al Gore, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy and, ahem, John Kerry.
