we knew it was coming. the salt lake tribune prints a slanted article containing some choice quotes from some democratic "leaders".  and where else but in the moonie times, we get a quote from holy joe.  phoenix woman, what did you say the other day about "fox news democrats"?

i'm quite aware of lieberman's piousness, but this is just a petty attempt to score cheap points off of howard.  it's the same thing that happened when edwards and sharpton and yes - joe lieberman - piled on dean during the rock the vote debate in late 2003 over the confederate flag remark.  

what troubles people is that howard seems to have no fear. he will say whatever the hell he wants whenever he wants, and he doesn't particularly care about offending peoples' sensibilities. and it occurs to me that some people just can't stand to hear the truth.  

it frightens them.

these dc democrats have nothing to fear from what howard says if they'll just embrace it and get with the program. seriously.  think about harry reid.  he's about as conservative a democrat as they come, but he's also a fighter. he doesn't compromise our core values. and you know what?  he kicks ass.  same with dean.  that's what i love about those guys and can't stand about the wimps in dc.  they really are afraid.

call or email lieberman and let him know that he needs to grow a pair. who's really been the source of all the divisiveness over the past five years?  remember how united everyone was after 911, then it all got squandered... who's fault was that?  i place the blame squarely on the the bushies and the dems who caved in to the republican agenda in the wake of 911.  joe was one of them. i believe underneath it all that he's a good guy; he just doesn't "get it" yet. maybe he never will, but we can certainly try to push him in the right direction.
