Heh
For seven years, Democrats have been blissfully united in their opposition to George W. Bush. We all knew it wouldn't last, of course, and now in a hotly contested primary season, it's all coming undone. And sometimes spectacularly, as with this Lawrence O'Donnell piece over at the Harridan Post, in which Larry verbally waterboards John Edwards. Money quote:
If John Edwards stays in the race, he might, in the end, become nothing other than the Southern white man who stood in the way of the black man. And for that, he would deserve a lifetime of liberal condemnation.
Heh, this is gonna be a great winter. Pass the popcorn beer.

OK, I'll say it; THAT has to be one of the dumbest, lamest lines I've ever heard, "...nothing other than the Southern white man who stood in the way of the black man."
Oh yeah, there are few things more maudlin in this world than a syrupy, Liberal Irishman....OK, except maybe one of those modern-day eviscerated Germans, apologizing endlessly for sins they had no part in, but this is right up there....in fact, yeah, it's probably even more ridiculous.
I mean, with a name like O'Donnell, his forebears probably came over during the potato famine, only to be thrust into "the war."
And now, 100 years hence, their progeny are falling over THEMselves apologizing for a slavery their own ancestors had no part or profit in, but fought to eradicate just the same.
I'd suggest the O'Donnell's of this world at least wait until the recipients of their ancestor's sacrifices say "thanks," although on THAT particular score, I wouldn't be holding my breath or anything.

"For seven years, Democrats have been blissfully united in their opposition to George W. Bush. "
So, do you blame them for that Barry? Are you still a supporter of Bush? If so, congrats for your judgment :-)
