TNR on the race for DNC chair

Thanks to Bellatrys for the link: The New Republic Online: The Outsiders. The truly amazing thing in the article is this quote from James Carville:

To many Washington Democrats watching the circus-like contest from afar, it has been an embarrassment. "I think it's pathetic," says James Carville. "It's so indicative of the Democratic Party. Now we're just playing into every stereotype: We're weak, disorganized, flopping around. ... Somebody should have fixed this damn thing in November. I wish someone would have taken charge and three or four people would have gotten together in a smoke-filled room. ... They're not running for president! They are running for party chair. This is supposed to be a rigged deal. You think the Republicans would do it this way?" 

As Bellatrys points out, um, Mr. Carville, you fuck the enemy. You are no friend of ours.

I was an anti-Deaniac in the presidential race, but I'm glad Dean's gonna be DNC chair. I think we're hosed, no matter what we do, and we may as well go down with a feral, rebel yell. This is not the time to go gently into that good night. History will remember those who went down fighting, and scorn the appeasers.
