The Herd Is Getting Spooked….

Filed under: Politics — Dafydd @ 1:34 pm



Do I detect a shrill note of panic among the Democratic herd?

Listen to former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) at “an annual state Democratic fundraising dinner,” talking about Howard Dean:

“The chairman of the DNC is not the spokesman for the party,” Edwards said.

Exsqueeze me? Perhaps the extremely experienced, long, long serving former junior senator from North Carolina has forgotten in all the excitement; but “spokesman” is pretty much the definition of the job of Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. In fact, I think the official title is something like Chairman, Spokesman, Visible Face, Speaker to Gentiles, and All Around Go-To Guy for This Here Party — isn’t it?

A few more unthinking remarks by Dean like the ones over the past few days, and the entire herd of Democratic cattle might break into a full-out stampede. Possibly over the nearest cliff.

  1. Howard:
    Just in case you’re reading this, we’ve got a spare room in the basement available.

    You can do some yard work; we had a tree removed couple of weeks ago, some bushes need trimming.

    I’ll need references, pardner.

  2. And the long-anticipated breakup of the Dems gets one step closer.

    Trouble is, the Loonies won’t leave of their own accord cuz they need the Dem brand name and the vote by rote that comes w/it. Which is why the Dems’ll hive off to form a 3rd party, prob w/a McCain or two from the other side.

    Its not an organizer? I suppose their charter would answer the question.

  4. Did Howie Dean recently make the statement that we republicans don’t understand the concept of working for a living? He’s so profound. Makes me long for comments from John sKerry.
