I think we all owe our appreciation to the crystalline strategic thinking of our brilliant "moderates."

I guess on some level I realized that you folks were willing to go pretty far in support of your brilliant "Democrats: not the party of the bitches" strategy.

I just didn't realize that you felt strongly enough about it to be willing to offer up the fourth amendment and the subjection to law of the executive branch as collateral damage.

You still disgust the right, ladies and gentlemen. They're already rolling out the eliminationist rhetoric for the fall races.

Still, you've been remarkably effective at adopting one of their most effective tools.

It's a shame the one you picked is suppressing the Democratic base.

Shame on you.

edit: ah. I see that four or so years after he moved out on us and the kids, Mr. Drum has finally worked up the intestinal fortitude to formally divorce us.

Gosh, we'll miss you in name only.

Pat on my back

I gave up on Drum several weeks before he made the jump to Washington Monthly.

Re: Pat on my back

Eh. People I respect seem to respect some things about him, so he keeps showing up in blogs I read.

Even if I wanted to read him, have you seen the level of discourse in his "community"?

Gack. Like Usenet in Dockers.

Re: Pat on my back

I myself gave up on him during the last round of 'oh-my-goodness-where-are-all-the-lady-bloggers.' I wonder how long before that comes up again.

"Like Usenet in Dockers."

Ah, you have a way with words that keeps your blog pinned to my must-read list.

I skim Drum but rarely go through the comments there. (though OTOH I still read real Usenet.)
