The thing about Mukasey is I knew he would be approved by the Democratic Senate, and passed through by the Democratic leadership — in this case meaning Charles Schumer and Dianne Feinstein.\u00c2\u00a0 The hope that sprung eternal when he provided uncomfortably vague answers about water-boarding was ill-advised, and I never thought worth wandering in and typing some words about.<\/p>\n
Just admit it:\u00c2\u00a0 you do not belong to the same political party as they do.\u00c2\u00a0 Even if you voted for them.\u00c2\u00a0 Even if it is advisable that you vote for them, something you must weigh every two years.<\/p>\n
In the midst of this whole series of events, George W Bush felt inclined to provide his schtik.\u00c2\u00a0 Something about Democrats bowing to the wishes of moveon.org bloggers and Code Pink ladies and if they don’t approve Mukasey, we won’t be giving them anybody new.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know the structure of moveon.org, so I can’t comment on its blogging functionalities, but my best guess is he’s off a bit there.\u00c2\u00a0 The bet of passing on Mukasey and ending up with nobody is worth taking.\u00c2\u00a0 But there is an odd functionality with this:<\/p>\n
I think we can consider the functions of Code Pink a little beyond the Democratic\/Republican party dichtomy, for good and bad, but moveon.org is a functionable Democratic fund-raising site, for good and bad.\u00c2\u00a0 Through this sort of McCarthy-esque smear, it is being poisioned in terms of functionality in acceptable political discourse.\u00c2\u00a0 This is not a good thing for the Democratic Party, but I think it is what Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein would like.<\/p>\n
Anyway, we are likely veering back to the great Democratic stand on the S-CHIPP program, watering down the benefits to get to the filibuster proof margin, which I heard the great Democratic honchos announce “… And then the President will be irrelevant to this debate.”\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t make me laugh, Democratic Party honchos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
